What You’ll Need
- Wreath base – A wire, foam, or grapevine wreath frame. (Wire works best for a light, airy look!) Use whatever color base you think will complement your favorite colors.
- Tulle in desired colors – Blue and light green for a fresh spring feel, or mix it up with pastels, neutrals, or bold tones!
- Scissors – To cut the tulle into strips (around 22 inches each).
- Embellishments – Butterflies, faux flowers, ribbons, mini fairy lights, or even small wooden signs for a personalized touch.
- Floral wire or glue (optional) – For securing decorations that need extra hold.
8 easy steps
- Start with a frame and tulle in your desired colors. Be creative with the colors, and bring your own flair to this spring wreath (or other season!).
2. Cut the tulle into your preferred length—mine was about 22 inches.
3. Take one piece of tulle and fold it in half. Place it underneath the wreath with the folded end pointing inward.
4. Pull the folded end up and over the wreath, along with the loose ends of the tulle.
5. Pull to tighten.
6. Continue alternating colors, going back and forth, until the wreath is full.
7. Add extra decorations as desired. This is where your creativity can really shine! Whether butterflies, bees, or flowers, make this butterfly wreath your very own this season.
8. Enjoy!
Your family and friends will be greeted in an extra special way this season when they see this lovely butterfly wreath on your door.
this Butterfly Wreath can be used any season!
The best part is that this wreath can be customized for any season. Here are some other ideas for this wreath design:
- Two or three shades of green can be alternated on the frame with shamrock pins added for Saint Patrick’s Day.
- Pink, red, and white tulle alternated with hearts added for Valentine’s Day.
- Fill the spring wreath with biblically themed decorations in celebration of Christ’s resurrection.
- Add colorful eggs (or similar decor) for Easter.
- Red, white, and blue tulle for July 4th, decorated with stars.
- Orange, yellow, and white tulle can be alternated for Thanksgiving, which gives it a great candy corn vibe. Then add a turkey decoration (perhaps a pin), and then tie a bow using your favorite harvest color.
