Follow the steps bellow to complete the project. Please be very careful when using tools and hot glue gun. Follow all safety measures and read applicable instructions prior to using tools.
- First take the fabric you’ve chosen and cut a few strips, about 2” wide. Cut as long as you think you need. You can always cut more if you need to.

- Begin wrapping the fabric all around the wreath form, until the entire wreath form is wrapped. If you run out of fabric strips in the middle of wrapping, just secure with hot glue, and add another strip of fabric until the entire wreath form is completely wrapped.
- Take the crafting chicken wire, lay it flat on a smooth surface and lay the wrapped wreath form on top.
- Take the wire cutters and cut the crafting chicken wire all around the wreath form. Don’t worry about being extremely precise as we will trim it in a next step.
- Take the wreath form and lay it face down
- Place a heavy strip of hot glue on the back side.
- Quickly and carefully, place the crafting chicken wire on top of the hot glue. You can use a silicone brush or finger protector to press down on the crafting chicken wire until glue has hardened.
- Add another heavy strip of hot glue on top of the crafting chicken wire and wreath form and press with the silicone brush or finger protector to ensure the crafting chicken wire is fully attached.
- Once the hot glue has cooled down and hardened, cut off the excess crafting wire from the edge using the wire cutters.
- Cut off a piece of the jute rope to your desired length.
- Hot glue both ends to each side of the back of the wreath.
- Flip the wreath right side up.
- Take the faux flower pick and cut as many branches as you’d like.
- You can now add the branches to the bottom left corner of the front of the wreath. You can hot glue them, but I suggest you simply weave the branches in between the crafting chicken wire until they are secure.
- Continue to add flower branches until you are happy with the result.
How fun is this Summer DIY craft! You now have a custom, DIY wreath ready to be hung and displayed for the Summer days ahead!
Hope you enjoyed today’s post!
