Putting together this wreath was a spring breeze—it only took about 20 minutes from start to finish!
Why I Love Making Seasonal Wreaths
My life marks time by moving along from one season to the next. I think this is because I was a primary teacher, and every season was celebrated! And I still revel in the celebration and welcoming of a new season.
One of the first things I do at the end of a season is make a new wreath for my front door! I think of a wreath as a big hello and welcome to all who pass by, and a nod to the season!

I love pink cherry blossoms. But if pink is not your thing, this spring wreath DIY would look beautiful using white cherry, apple, or even forsythia blossoms!
How To Make The Wreath
I love this pretty, feminine wreath because it is quintessentially spring! It was so simple to put together that you can make this wreath even if you are not crafty! Here’s the step-by-step instructions with pictures to help you.
Doubling The Grapevine Wreath Base
A sturdy grapevine wreath is a must when making this spring wreath DIY or any seasonal wreath.
Doubling the grapevine wreaths is a designer secret! I used to frequent a designer showroom known for its beautiful wreaths and noticed that all the grapevine wreath bases were doubled. That was a secret that made such a difference!
So I started wiring two grapevine wreaths together and voila, all the ones I created started looking so much better.
Pro Tip 1
Place one wreath is placed on top of the other, and connected them together using clear zip ties or wire. . Think of your wreaths as a clock andsecured them together at three points: 2:00, 4:00, and 10:00.
And here’s another tip: Because I usually take my wreaths apart after the season ends, I have a doubled grapevine wreath base ready to use again! It’s so economical.
Looking closely, you can see the zip ties fastening the two grapevine wreaths together in the image below.
Adding Cherry Blossom Stems To The Wreath
The next and last part of making this pretty spring wreath is arranging the cherry blossoms on it. This part is super easy!
The first thing to do is decide if you want a wreath entirely covered with flowers or a bit of the grapevine to show. Either way, this wreath would look beautiful!
Because it is my early spring wreath, I wanted some grapevine wood to show and resemble a cherry blossom tree.
So I started on one side of the wreath, adding sprigs of cherry blossoms, pushing their stems into the grapevine wreath.
Most of these cherry blossoms had long enough stems that I did not need to add hot glue many to hold them onto the wreath.
If you are hot gluing the cherry blossoms to the wreath, arrange them on the wreath, and when you like how they are positioned, glue the stems to the grapevine wreath.
Continue adding more cherry blossoms to the wreath, filling in cherry blossoms on the inside and letting some overhang the outside, as shown below.
Continue adding cherry blossoms, working around the wreath until you are happy with how the wreath looks.
I like to give any wreaths I make a good shake. If any of the items on the wreath fall off, I know I need to hot glue them on better. This will keep your wreath intact and looking nice all season long!
Pro Tip 2
If you notice hot glue strands—often called ‘spider webs’—clinging to your wreath simply use a hairdryer. Set it to a warm, low setting and gently blow over the wreath. This will melt those stubborn strands leaving your wreath looking flawless.
Hanging Your Cherry Blossom Wreath On Your Front Door
All that is left to do is to hang your beautiful wreath on your front door!
I’ve been asked so many times about how I hang wreaths on our front door. Here at Tanglewood and at StoneGable Bobby screwed a hook into the door for me to hang all my wreaths on.
I hope you will give this spring wreath DIY a try. How pretty would it look on your front door?

Happy spring, friends..
Good Morning, Love the wreath and would like to ask a question please. Do you have an average height that you normally use on your front door when hanging your wreath? Wait daily for the next idea. Take care and stay safe.
I don’t have an average height. I just used the upper crossbar as a guide for putting a screw in the door for the wreath.
I love cherry blossom flowers and love the wreath. Happy spring. Jean

I love this wreath. Will be trying using the 2 wreaths together for more emphasis.
Thank you for all the good ideas you share helps me so much.
So sweet Va! Thank you!
Now, that is a great tip, Yvonne!! I’m like you…taking apart my wreaths after the season.
It’s a $$$ saver for sure.
What a pretty wreath! I like that it doesn’t need a bow. One question. Do you take the cherry blossom branches apart to stick in the wreath or do you use the the whole branch? It kinda looks like you cut them apart.
Great question. I take them apart, however I leave the stems I cut apart long to stick the stems deep in the wreath. Hope this helps, Donna.
Such a pretty wreath!
Thanks, Carla!
I’m heading to Washington D.C. this weekend to check out the cherry blossoms. Your wreath sure got me in the mood. Looks beautiful, Yvonne!
Have fun! The cherry blossoms are a national treasure!
