DIY Patriotic Floral Summer Wreath
Create this easy and beautiful DIY Patriotic Floral Summer Wreath to decorate your door. Welcome summer with flowers, greenery, and a touch of red, white, and blue!
Summer is almost here and I am ready to welcome and embrace this new season!
One way of welcoming the season into your home is with a wreath. I love making wreaths and enjoy hanging seasonal wreaths in my home and on my front and back doors. To me, this lovely decoration is so inviting!
Recently, I joined my friend Kelly from The Tattered Pew for the Bloggers’ Best Home Tours, where I shared Simple Patriotic Summer Decor. Instead of a traditional red, white, and blue wreath, I decided to make one with florals.
DIY Patriotic Floral Summer Wreath
This wreath is perfect for summertime and can stay on your door from Memorial Day through Labor Day. It is both easy and inexpensive to make, and can be made in about 30 minutes.

Supplies:
- 18 inch grapevine wreath
- wire cutters
- garland (I used Green Mini Ficus Garland from Hobby Lobby.)
- zip ties
- artificial florals of your choice (I used two of these white hydrangeas branches, one red poppy bush, both from Michaels, as well as one green boxwood and berry bush, and one navy molopospermum bush, both from Hobby Lobby.)
- Gorilla® Dual Temp Full Size Hot Glue Gun
- Gorilla® Full Size Hot Glue Sticks
Easy Step by Step Wreath Assembly
- Lay your garland on top of the grapevine wreath. Then, using zip ties, attach the garland to a piece of the grapevine. Pull the zip tie tight to secure the garland. Clip off any excess piece of the zip tie.
- Cut apart the hydrangea branches, leaving a couple of inches of stem. Arrange the hydrangeas on the wreath.
- When you are happy with the placement, bend the stem and add some hot glue. Tuck the stem into the wreath. BE VERY CAREFUL when using hot glue! I highly recommend using these hot glue finger protectors. You may also want to use a popsicle stick to tuck and press the stems into the wreath.
- Repeat the process for adding the boxwood and berry bush, the navy molopospermum bush, and the red poppies.
- When finished, make a hanger from twine or floral wire. Attach it to the back of the wreath.
- Hang and Enjoy!
Wreath Making Tips
- Before you begin, prepare your grapevine wreath by snipping off any excess pieces of grapevine.
- I highly recommend using these hot glue finger protectors.
- You may also want to use a popsicle stick to tuck and press the stems into the wreath.

Where can I hang my wreath?
Hang your wreath anywhere you would like a pop of summer color. Hang it on an entry door to welcome guests or on an interior door or wall for instant seasonal decor! You may enjoy hanging it on a mirror too!
How much does it cost to make a floral summer wreath?
I like to shop the sales. The grapevine wreath was $6.99, but I was able to purchase all of the greenery and florals on sale at either 40% or 50% off. As a result, this wreath cost about $30 to make.

Thank you so much, Kerryanne! What a wonderful surprise! This is such a wonderful link party and I am so honored!
Beautiful! Thanks for the tips and inspiration! 🙂
The garland you used for this wreath is such a perfect texture I ran out and bought one right away! I have several of the other pieces in my stash. I think I will not glue the red flowers in so they can be changed out later in the season, with maybe black-eyed Susan’s
What a great idea. Dana! Changing them out later for black-eyed Susans is a great idea. I would love to see a picture of your wreath. Thank you so much for visiting and sharing, my friend!

Dear Lynn,
Summer in Dallas has brought me down. My dear husband has dementia and is in a long term care nursing home and the heat here is unbelievable; today 101 with a feels like of 110! I am just plain sad.
However, your lovely, patriotic wreath put a little smile on my face and a bit of motivation where there hasn’t been any for quite a while, so thank you, my sweet friend! I have a wreath with little white flowers on it already so now, all I need to do is gather up some blue flowers and red poppies and my house will have a smile on it I’ll be ready for Independence Day!
A positive project is always good for someone’s broken heart; I hope this one helps mine a bit. Thank you for helping me, Lynne.❤️
Gratefully, Lucy
Thank you so much, Lucy, for your thoughtful comment. I am so sorry to hear about your husband. I can relate as my mom is in the final stage of Alzheimer’s disease. Please know that I am sending you positive thoughts of strength, comfort, and support. I am so happy that the wreath brought a smile to your face. It is amazing how creating can be so soothing and healing. Wishing you a beautiful weekend! xo
