DIY Spring Wild Flower Wreath

Choosing Your Wildflowers and Color Palette
Start by choosing the wildflowers you’d like to include. I usually pick:

• 3–4 main colors
• 3–5 different flower or greenery shapes/textures

This helps narrow down a color palette and keeps the wreath feeling cohesive while still organic.
One thing I often do (especially when working from scraps) is create a mini palette page. I glue small pieces of felt onto a sheet of paper and add quick little sketches of the flower shapes I imagine making with each color. This gives me an overview of textures, shapes, and colors all in one place.

Disclaimer: I am absolutely not an artist when it comes to drawing—this is purely a visual planning tool, not a masterpiece.

For this wreath, the flowers I chose are below. I have also included simple Wiki links to images of the flowers for reference:

• Common Periwinkle
• Forget-Me-Nots
• St. John’s Wort
• Oxeye Daisy

You’ll notice this includes both native and non-native plants—a choice I’m comfortable with creatively and aesthetically, even if they wouldn’t all grow together naturally.

Cutting Your Flowers
If you have a Cricut, you can use the SVG files I’ve provided. If not, you can:

• Draw your own shapes.
• Print reference images and trace them.
• Freehand cut based on feel.

All approaches are equally valid here.
I wanted my flowers to feel delicate and spring-like, so I kept them on the smaller side. If you’re going for something bolder or more dramatic, larger cuts will give you a fuller, more robust floral look.

Adding Life and Detail to the Flowers
Once your basic flower shapes are cut, it’s time to add details to a few of them that make them feel more alive. I added detail to only the Oxeye Daisy and Periwinkle, and chose to leave the St. John's Wort and Forget-Me-Not just simple floral shapes.

Periwinkle

1. Cut thin strips of both the white and yellow felt.
2. Cut notches into both strips.
3. Roll them together into a single notched tube and glue. This will be the center of the flower.
4. Cut tiny slits in the centre of the flower shape and slide the tube through.
5. Secure it in place with glue.

Oxeye Daisy

1. Cut a strip (about 2 inches long) from the same yellow felt used for the St. John’s Wort flower.
2. Glue along one long edge of the strip lengthwise and fold it over.
3. Cut thin notches along the unglued edge.
4. Roll it lengthwise, securing with glue, until it forms a rough little bud
5. Glue this into the centre of the daisy to create the seed cluster.

Choosing and Making the Greenery

Next, decide on the color and texture of your greenery. I chose:

• Two green tones. One darker green, and a bright spring green for contrast.
• A mix of long pointed leaves and short rounded leaves to keep the shape interesting.

I attached some of the leaves to wire stems, which allowed me to bend and fluff them for a bushier, more natural wreath base.
Another option is to forego the greenery all together, and cluster your flowers tightly together on the wreath base.

Choosing a Wreath Base
Once your flowers and greenery are ready, choose your base.
Because this wreath was intended for indoor use, I used a simple woven wreath base from the dollar store. Foam, grapevine, or handmade felt bases would also work—this is another place where personal preference comes in.

Assembling the Wreath
Using a hot glue gun, start by attaching the greenery all the way around the wreath base. Build this up until you have a full, fluffy foundation. Once the greenery is secure:

• Begin adding your flowers to the wreath.
• You can cluster them in one section, or space them evenly throughout.
• You could even let them wander organically wherever they feel right. Choose your own adventure!

I chose to spread the flowers throughout the greenery, letting them peek out gently rather than dominate any single area.

Share Your Creations!
This wreath isn’t about precision—it’s about noticing, responding, and trusting your instincts. Let it feel a little wild, a little imperfect, and very much your own.
