I had a goal for this past year to have a DIY wreath tutorial on my blog for every month of the year. I’m proud to say I’ve met that goal. Surpassed it, for quite a few of the months! lol
Consequently, I have stacks of wreaths in my garage! I love switching them out monthly (or sometimes twice a month, haha).
Wreaths are such a fun and simple way to decorate for the holidays and season. It’s an easy way to “be festive” for each holiday. Just get the wreath out of storage and hang it up! And since they hang outside, wreaths don’t have to match your style or decor inside. They can be whatever you’d like!
12 Months, 12 DIY Wreaths
So there are seven major US holidays throughout the year (Valentines Day, St Patricks Day, Easter, Independence Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas) which made it easy to come up with a theme for those seven months. For the remaining 5 months, I went with a seasonal wreath, or a wreath with flowers that typically bloom that month.
Below are my 12 favorite wreaths, you can click through to the tutorials for more info on each.
A Year of DIY Wreaths
I have a thing for wreaths, obviously! Here are my favorite DIY wreaths, one for every month of the year.
January - Pinecone Wreath
My favorite part of this wreath is the flannel buffalo check bow! The glittery pinecones on a rustic grapevine wreath base is perfect for a wintery January wreath.
February - Ombre Peony Heart Wreath
Peonies are possibly the most romantic flower ever! Add in a heart shape and a beautiful ombre from dark pink to white, and you have the perfect Valentines Day wreath for February.
March - St Patricks Boxwood Wreath
Use a basic green boxwood wreath, and add in a few festive accents, like (plastic) gold coins and a big rainbow bow, and voila! A super easy (and fun!) wreath for March and St Patricks Day.
April - Easter Tulip Wreath
This beautiful tulip wreath is the DIY wreath that put The How To Mom on the map! I've found the perfect mini tulips in the prettiest colors, and came up with the perfect (easy!) way to turn them into a gorgeous Easter wreath, perfect for April!
May - Beautiful Butterfly Wreath
Another easy boxwood wreath upgrade, this time using sweet little butterflies and a black and white striped bow that compliments the black and white in the butterflies! This spring-to-summer wreath is perfect for May.
June - Magnolia Flower Wreath
I look forward to watching my magnolia tree bloom in early June, and I love hanging this beautiful Magnolia Flower wreath on my door! Its one of my top sellers in my Etsy shop too.
July - Patriotic Hydrangea Wreath
I love the red, white and blue of this patriotic hydrangea wreath. Hydrangeas are one of my favorite summer flowers, so using them to make a July wreath is perfect!
August - Faux Boxwood Wreath
My basic faux boxwood wreath is a great year-round wreath. When I don't have a holiday or theme, I just hang this beauty up and call it good!
September - Easy Fall Mum Wreath
Mums are such a classic early fall flower. I often see them overflowing in pots on front porches, and think they make a beautiful fall wreath, perfect for September!
October - Creepy Black Rose Wreath
This creepy black and deep purple rose wreath is one of my top wreaths! It looks amazing with a bit of spiderweb, and maybe a spooky crow too. Such a great wreath for October and Halloween!
November - Fall Leaves Wreath
Shimmery and glittery fall leaf garland makes a beautiful and easy fall wreath. Just add a bow, and its perfect for Thanksgiving and November!
December - Ornament Wreath
I love my ornament wreaths, and have a hard time not making a dozen of them every Christmas! Its so fun to put together different color combinations. And I've learned a few tricks to insure a successful project!
