How to Make a Standing Wreath in a Container
Posted by melissa on Aug 4, 2013 in crafts, family room, wreaths | 9 comments
Our summer of freedom is almost officially over. 🙁
Middle School Orientation Monday night…
Elementary School Orientation Tuesday night…
Giant Back-to-School youth group event Wednesday night…
Hosting 60 middle school girls and their families for dinner Thursday night…
So, of course, I am making a new wreath.
That’s what anyone else would do, right?!
Because, I saw this super cute “wreath in a clay pot” at a really nice,
expensive store last week.
And, I knew that I wanted one.
And, I had this great idea that I just knew would work.
So, I could not get anything else done until I saw if this idea would
actually work.
And, it did. 🙂
Supplies:
One container filled with foam
{This container came from Hobby Lobby.}
One grapevine wreath that is the correct proportion to the container
Vine – like greenery
Sheet Moss
Floral Pins
Hot Glue
I used this greenery from Hobby Lobby.
I just pulled off a few pieces.
Wrapped the vine in
and around the grapevine wreath.
Using TONS of hot glue,
secured the wreath to the foam.
For extra support,
I added hot glue to the floral pins and inserted them into the wreath
attaching it to the foam.
I used 5 of these pins.
I added sheet moss to cover the foam.
And, then found the perfect new home for this “wreath in a pot.”
Now, I guess I should start working on the things that actually need to get done for my girls to start back to school…
Life to the full!

So simple, and yet so fun! I’m definitely making one!! Thanks so much for the how-to. 🙂
Very cute! Of course that’s what you needed to do. Now you can add that to Tweak It Tuesday tomorrow.

That turned out really pretty. I have a girlfriend who has made several of those over the years and I always intend to figure out how to do it. Now I know. 🙂 The shape of your container and the rustic look is neat with the brass table.
if you’re ever bored, you can make me one too ok? LOL
This looks so pretty. Thanks for the tutorial. Hugs, Marty
This is such a great idea! I have oodles of those wreaths sitting around. I know what you mean about school – waaahhhhh! Our girl goes back to college in two weeks. Summer couldn’t be long enough for us 🙂 Have a great day, Melissa!
xo, Andrea
So Pretty!!
I really like your wreaths. I wanted to make 1 but my hands hurt so
bad with R/A I just can’t do it. So keep making the so cute & pretty
wreaths. and maybe some day you’ll come up with an idea that handy capped people can make that won’t make their R/A hurt worse.
