Who this list is for
This list is meant for crafters who want to make one or two decorative wreaths using dried flowers and herbs from their own home garden. It’s for people who already have access to dried stems and want to focus on assembling, not growing or harvesting. Beginners and occasional wreath makers will find this list practical for home projects.
How to use this list
Start by preparing your workspace with a protective table covering and put on work gloves. Lay out your grapevine wreath forms and sort your dried lavender, statice, strawflowers, eucalyptus, and rosemary. Use floral snips to trim stems to length. Attach stems to the wreath forms with floral wire, cutting with wire cutters as needed. Secure stubborn pieces or decorations with a hot glue gun and glue sticks. Finish by tying ribbon in bows or loops and attaching them to the wreath.
What to skip
Don’t use fresh flowers or herbs—they wilt quickly and won’t last on a wreath. Skip plastic or foam wreath forms if you want a natural look; grapevine forms hold stems better. Avoid regular scissors for cutting wire; use wire cutters to prevent damage. Don’t forget the protective table covering—hot glue and plant debris can ruin surfaces.
What is on this list
You’ll need two grapevine wreath forms, a spool of floral wire, wire cutters, floral snips, and a hot glue gun with glue sticks. For materials, gather dried lavender, statice, strawflowers, eucalyptus, and rosemary. Two rolls of ribbon are included for decoration. Work gloves and a protective table covering help keep you safe and tidy. Cross off any items you already have before shopping for the rest.
After the visit
Once your wreaths are finished, let any glued sections cool and harden before hanging. Store leftover dried stems and ribbon in a dry place for future crafts. Unplug and safely store your hot glue gun. Wipe down tools and dispose of plant debris. Display your wreaths in a spot out of direct sunlight to keep colors bright longer.
