DIY Butterfly Wreath Tutorial

Craft Basics· Home Decor· Wreaths

Spring is here and your front door is just dying for a bright and cheery DIY butterfly wreath to greet your guests! It comes together easily and only requires a few supplies. You can customize it by changing out the butterflies for a bird’s nest and some mushroom birds or stick to all one color of butterfly for a dramatic look. So many options!

DIY-butterfly-wreath-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-1Supplies needed to make your own DIY butterfly wreath:supply-list

  • 12 inch Grapevine Wreath.
  • Ivy Chain Garland (3).
  • 30 Gauge Green Cloth Covered Wire.
  • Assorted Craft Butterflies.

DIY-butterfly-wreath-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-4Step One. Create a circle with one of the ivy strands and secure it to itself with floral wire. Make sure your circle diameter is just a bit larger than the grapevine wreath. Continue adding ivy strands until you have used up all three.

DIY-butterfly-wreath-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-5Step Two. Use the floral wire to connect ivy strands with the grapevine wreath. I connected it in six different places to make sure it was really secure!

DIY-butterfly-wreath-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-6Step Three. Use the wire attached to each butterfly to secure in place on the grapevine wreath and ivy strands. I was a bit too ambitious with some of my butterflies and the wire accidentally popped off. You can either fix it with a glue gun or just apply glue directly to the back of the butterfly and stick in place on the DIY butterfly wreath. Continue attaching butterflies until wreath is filled!

DIY-butterfly-wreath-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-7All that’s left to do is hang your DIY butterfly wreath on your door and enjoy a beautiful spring day! To maintain the shape, I suggest you hang by the grapevine wreath instead of the ivy strands. As I mentioned above, you can easily customize this wreath by just swapping out the butterflies for birds or even miniature pieces.

DIY-butterfly-wreath-tutorial-Crafts-Unleashed-3Consumer Crafts has an adorable twig nest and a great selection of miniature garden supplies to use.

    […] Another way you could use the DIY paper butterfly cutouts would be to decorate a spring wreath with them, just like this DIY butterfly wreath. […]
