Five Steps to a Simple Hydrangea Fall “Wreath” for Your Front Door

Materials needed :

Step 1: Gather and Prep Your Hydrangeas

The best time to cut your hydrangeas is when they have already starting the drying process.

Make sure you cut your stems long enough so you have plenty of length to work with.

Before you begin assembly, ensure your hydrangeas are ready to go by preserving their vibrant hues.

Do that by simply spraying them with hairspray in a well ventilated area.

Step 2: Choose a Basket or Market Tote

Instead of a traditional wreath form that would take hours to assemble, opt for using a basket or tote bag instead.

Choose a basket that complements the size and style you envision.

It’s best to select one that has a handle and will lay flush against your door.

If you select a market tote simple tuck the front handles inside the bag.

Step 3: Add Floral Foam

Cut the floral foam with a knife to fit the bottom of your basket or market tote.

If your basket or tote bag is light in weight feel free to add something heavy to weigh it down, such as rocks or a small weight.

If your basket has small holes add a little Spanish moss to cover the green floral form.

Step 4: Arrange Your Hydrangeas

Once your hydrangeas are prepped and your basket is ready, it’s time to start arranging your flowers.

Begin by laying out your hydrangeas around the rim of the basket, overlapping them slightly to create a full and lush look.

Experiment with different placements until you’re happy with the result.

Gently push the stems into the floral foam to secure them in place.

Step 5: Hang and Enjoy

Once your arrangement is complete, use the damage free hanging wall hook to hang your masterpiece.
