DIY Spring Wreaths to Brighten Your Door
Freshen up your entryway with DIY spring wreaths that add charm and color to your door.
Spring is finally here, and that means it’s time to trade in the winter blues for fresh florals, pastel hues, and all things bright and cheery! What better way to kick off the season than by sprucing up your entryway with DIY spring wreaths to brighten your door? Sure, you could grab a generic wreath from the store, but where’s the fun in that? Let’s get creative with some out-of-the-box ideas that’ll have your neighbors wondering if you secretly moonlight as a floral designer. (No experience required, just a little glue and a lot of enthusiasm!)
What You’ll Need
Before we dive into the wreath magic, here are a few crafting essentials that’ll come in handy across most of these projects:
- Faux flowers or greenery
- Ribbon or twine
- Hot glue gun & glue sticks
- Wreath base (grapevine, foam, wire—depending on the look)
- Scissors & wire cutters
- Paint, brushes, or markers (for the artsy ones!)
- A little patience and a whole lotta joy
Psst… need to grab a few things? I’ll be linking some of my favorite finds throughout the post—easy peasy.
1. Upcycled Umbrella Wreath
You read that right—an umbrella! Take a small, brightly colored umbrella, open it just slightly, and fill it with fresh or faux flowers. Tie a ribbon around the middle to keep the flowers in place and hang it by the handle on your door. This DIY spring wreath is not only eye-catching but also a fun conversation starter. Plus, it’s a great way to repurpose that umbrella with a broken spoke that you just can’t bear to throw away.

2. Herb-Infused Wreath
Why stop at looking pretty when your wreath can also smell amazing? Create a wreath using fresh herbs like rosemary, lavender, thyme, and mint. The result? A rustic-chic masterpiece that greets guests with a delightful aroma every time they walk through the door. Plus, as the herbs dry, they can be snipped off and used in cooking—talk about multi-functional décor! This is an easy way to bring a touch of nature and practicality to your home.
Warning: May cause spontaneous pasta nights.
3. Bird’s Nest Wreath
Welcome spring (and maybe even a few feathered friends) by crafting a bird’s nest-inspired wreath. Use a grapevine wreath as the base and weave in twigs, moss, and small artificial eggs. You can even add a tiny bird figurine for extra charm. This whimsical DIY spring wreath is perfect for nature lovers and adds an organic, outdoorsy feel to your entryway.
A nest of twigs, a speckled egg,
A bird perched proud on nature’s peg.
With moss and charm, your wreath takes flight—
A touch of spring, pure feathered delight.
4. Rain Boot Wreath Alternative
Who says a wreath has to be circular? Take an old pair of colorful rain boots, stuff them with fresh flowers or greenery, and hang them from your door with a sturdy ribbon. This unique take on a traditional wreath screams springtime and is an instant mood booster every time you walk up to your door. Bonus: It’s the perfect excuse to upgrade to that cute new pair of boots you’ve been eyeing!
Who knew your kid’s outgrown rain boots could become front-door fashion? Just stuff ’em with faux florals, tie it all up with a cute ribbon, and boom—your porch is runway ready. Functional footwear? Not anymore. These boots were made for blooming.
5. Fluffy Pom-Pom Wreath
If florals aren’t your thing, try a wreath made entirely of colorful yarn pom-poms. Choose soft pastel shades or go bold with bright, cheery colors. Glue the pom-poms onto a wire or foam wreath form, and voilà—a fun, modern twist on the classic spring wreath. This project is kid-friendly and a great way to add texture and color to your front door. Plus, no watering required!
Fluffy bursts of color bright,
Soft and cheerful, pure delight.
No petals here, but joy instead—
Pom-poms dancing in pastel thread!
A circle plain, a crafty start,
A blank white stage for DIY art.
Just add flair, some glue, and grace—
Watch it bloom from simple base!
Pom-poms pop and bases spin,
Stick ’em on, let spring begin!
A wreath so bright, you’ll grin all day—
Fluff meets form in the best bouquet!
6. Egg Carton Floral Wreath
Before you toss that egg carton into the recycling bin, consider turning it into a charming floral wreath. Cut the individual cups from the carton, shape them into petals, and paint them in soft spring hues. Glue them onto a wreath form and add greenery for a stunning, eco-friendly creation. Not only is this budget-friendly, but it’s also a fun way to upcycle materials you already have at home.
That little egg cup? Yeah, it’s basically a flower waiting to happen.
With a little paint, a snip here, and a dab of glue there, you’ll go from “omelette ingredients” to “art gallery level upcycle” in no time.
Get crackin’—your wreath is egg-specting greatness.
Final Touches & Hanging Tips
No matter which DIY spring wreath you choose, make sure it’s securely fastened to your door. Use a sturdy hook, over-the-door hanger, or a festive ribbon loop. If you live in a windy area, a little extra reinforcement (like removable adhesive strips) will keep your masterpiece from making an unexpected journey down the street.
For an extra touch of spring magic, pair your wreath with a matching doormat or potted flowers by your entryway. It’s the little details that make a big impact!
