My DIY magnolia wreath cost me less than $7 and only a half hour of my time. I think it was time and money well spent. I’m not only a fan of magnolia wreaths, I’m a fan of almost almost all green wreaths. Green wreaths are beautiful anytime of the year and look great both as indoor and outdoor decor.

Here are some of my favorite green wreath options (affiliate links provided below):

This time around I was looking to get the look for less. So, I used inspiration from above to make my DIY magnolia wreath. This DIY project is a perfect for beginners because it doesn’t require many steps or supplies. If you’re looking for a simple and fun craft to do with friends, this is it!

HERE’S HOW TO MAKE A DIY MAGNOLIA WREATH:

GATHER MATERIALS

For this project, you’ll need just three things:

-Hot glue gun, like this one

-Grapevine wreath, like this one (You could use any style wreath that you prefer. I just happened to have one of these on hand.)

-Floral leaves. I used this one and had a 50% off coupon, which made it only $6.50! I had bought two of them but didn’t end up needing the second one so I returned it.

REMOVE ALL LEAVES FROM BRANCH

To remove the leafs from the branch, I just had to pull them off. They came off in sets of two leaves, which is perfect for this project!

PLACE LEAF STEMS ON WREATH AND HOT GLUE

The first leaf set I just glued to the wreath itself. As I added new leaves, I glued them to both the wreath and the previous leaf layer. That helped to keep the leaves from straying.

HANG IT

You can use whatever item you have on hand to hang it. This wreath just so happened to have a pipe cleaner left on the back of it from when I had previously used it. I was able to simply twist it between the grapevines and secure it onto my door knocker. These over-the-door wreath hangers work well too.

I love the green pop of color against my black door! It was the perfect, simple improvement to give my home some summer green.

I hope you enjoyed this easy tutorial!
