DIY Tulip Wreath {Step-by-step}

Today I wanted to share how to make a tulip wreath. This large DIY tulip wreath is inexpensive and is quite the statement piece for your front door or home decor.

Spring is one of my favorite seasons to decorate for. Tulips are a sign of Spring so I’m making a Spring wreath with tulips. They’re one of my favorite flowers.

I had a place over the bed in our guest bedroom begging for a wreath so I decided a white tulip wreath would be perfect for Spring. Since I wanted something pretty big, I started the search for a large wreath form. This will also look beautiful on my front door.

While waiting in line at Michael’s to buy the white tulips, I walked by the perfect large wreath form. Yes!!! I finally found the perfect wreath form! I couldn’t wait to get home and make my Spring tulip wreath.

Tulip Wreath DIY Supplies and Materials

I found all of my supplies at Michaels’s Crafts but I’m sure you can find them at other craft stores. Dollar Tree and Hobby Lobby usually get tulips each year as well.

Hula Hoop or other wire wreath form
White tulips or tulip colors of your choice- Michael’s usually always has a sale! I got mine 50% off! (used 8 bunches). There are so many different colors of faux tulips.
Florist wire or florist tape – I used tape and it was the best way to attach the flowers.
Wire Cutters – If you use wire.
Spray paint is optional

How To Make A Simple Tulip Wreath Step-by-Step

This wreath only took about twenty minutes to complete. Here are the step-by-step instructions for making the wreath:

Paint the hula hoop green. If you’re not using a hula hoop, you may not need to paint your frame. My hula hoop was rainbow-colored. I knew those colors were going to show through, so I spray-painted it outdoors. I painted mine gold and realized that green would have been a much better choice.
To achieve the same look as mine, cut all of the tulip stems off of the bundle. If you want your wreath more full, you can leave them on the bundles but you’ll also need at least twice the amount of bundles to make the same size wreath.
Slightly curve each tulip stem by bending the wire a bit. This makes them lay around the wreath nicely.
Lay one tulip against the wreath frame and use florist tape to wrap to attach the stem. Add more tulips as you work your way around the wreath. You can also use florist wire but I found the tape to be the best way to attach them and keep them from slipping.
Once all of the flowers are attached, the last step is to hang your wreath. You can hang it from a wreath hanger or use a command hook. If you’d like, you can attach a ribbon or bow to the wreath as well.

This has been a busy weekend for DIY posts. I also finished up my burlap flowers DIY which also shows how to make a burlap floral bouquet. Be sure to check that post as well!

When I was young, I was a hula hoop champ. Before making this wreath, I gave the hula hoop a go to see if I still “had it”. Let’s just say I’m glad the hula hoop was put to good use with this white tulip wreath instead!

Happy crafting,

Denise
