Yield: 1 wreath
1 pruners
1 wire cutters only if needing to attach to wreath
1 bucket of water to hold stems while working
brown paper optional- to cover work area
floral wire if not using a grapevine wreath to hold stems
- 1 wreath form- metal, grapevine or straw need wire to hold stems, if not using grapevine wreath
- 12-20 stems hydrangea or enough to cover your form
Cover your work area to protect your work surface. I love to use brown paper for this.
If repurposing a wreath form, clean and have it ready to go. Grapevine wreaths are great for this project.
Begin this project in the morning...before sun has hit hydrangeas.
Use pruners to cut your hydrangea with stems long enough to attach and overlay around your wreath. About 4-6" works best.TIP: Select hydrangeas from your yard that have proven to dry with good results. Add stems to a bucket of water to hold until ready to attach to wreath form.
Remove all leaves from your hydrangea.
Simply insert into grapevine to hold them. Attach with floral wire if using a different type wreath form.
Continue laying your blooms, alternating sides and placing blooms in the same direction until you complete the circle on the wreath.
Attach a loop of wire for a hanger to the top of the wreath, if needed. TIP: My grapevine wreath hung beautifully without it. Simply hang and enjoy!
TIP: To ensure that it lasts, hang in an inside area.
Drying hydrangea for a beautiful wreath is a perfect way to add color and beauty to your home. Choose your color to match your fall inspiration.
A great way to recycle old wreaths-- just clean and you are ready to repurpose them into a great new wreath for your home. A customized and cost effective way to decorate!
