Last week I shared our entryway all decorated for Spring.
If you missed that you can check it out HERE.
This week I decided to continue working on the entryway by making this asymmetrical Spring wreath DIY.
I had a lot of fun making it and it only took me 30 minutes!!

How do you make a spring front door wreath?
You can make a Spring wreath however you want.
Which is the beauty of DIY projects in general.
I’ve used embroidery hoops for my wreath foundation, but I think that grapevine wreaths are my favorite to work with.
In my experience they are much easier to build off of, and the I love the warmth they add.
After you have the foundation you just start adding all the pieces and parts until you’re happy with the result.
There is no real science to it.
Just a creative expression.
So let’s get into this eucalyptus and floral DIY wreath that I made for Spring this year.
Asymmetrical Spring Wreath| Supplies
- Grapevine wreath (got this one at a garage sale for $2)
- Eucalyptus (or your favorite greenery)
- 3 large florals
- smaller filler flowers
- ribbon (color of your choice, I used muslin fabric ripped into strips)
- floral wire
- wire cutters
Asymmetrical Spring Wreath| Instructions
Before we get into the “how-to”, I want to tell you that I don’t use hot glue for my wreaths.
If you’ve seen any of my previous DIY wreaths, then you already know this.
I like to be able to make changes and reuse all the greenery and florals for different things all year long.
So I will either use floral wire or a fishing line, but I mostly secure the stems by pushing them between the grapevines.
Then when I’m done with the wreath I can tear it down and create something new using the same pieces.
Step 1
I always start by hanging my wreath base.
I’ve made wreaths laying them on a table before but I feel like I get a better representation of what the wreath is actually going to look like if I hang it for the building process.
Then I started adding my foundation eucalyptus stems.
I started at about 7-8 o’clock and build up 2/3 and then down 1/3.
Step 2
Once I had the first type of eucalyptus stems in the shape that I wanted I began to add the second variety.
By using more than one variety of foundation greenery I think it gives it more dimension.
Step 3
After I had the base of the wreath attached I started working on my large focal flowers.
For this I used the rule of thirds and used three big flowers in the shape of a triangle.
I used a blue hydrangea that I already had and then I picked up a couple of darker blue peonies or roses (I’m not sure what they are supposed to be haha).
You don’t have to do this.
You could stick with three of the same kind of flower but I wanted to create a little bit more variation for this wreath.
Step 4
Now that I had the main parts of the wreath done, I started adding smaller filler flowers to the wreath.
I found these wild flower-looking stems and knew I wanted to add them.
I have a fun idea for using this same wreath all spring and summer with one simple change.
We have little white wildflowers that grow around our house all summer and the girls love picking them.
So the wildflowers were a must for me.
Step 5
The last thing I did was add a ribbon.
This is the same ribbon I used back in the fall when I did my Fall DIY wreath.
I bought 2 yards of muslin fabric and after Fall and Christmas, I still have some left over!
Which leads to my plans for this wreath when Summer arrives.
Once Summer gets here I’m going to turn this into a Red, White, and Blue wreath by dyeing some fabric red and swapping the ribbon.
So simple!
How do you hang a lopsided wreath?
The easiest way to hang a lopsided or asymmetrical grapevine wreath is with a suction wreath hanger like this one.
I put the wreath the way that I want it and then I slide the grapevines into the hook and it generally stays pretty much where I put it.
When I made a wreath that wasn’t on a grapevine foundation I did this.
I simply tied the fishing line around the hoop and the wreath hook so the wreath wouldn’t slide on the hook.
Then I moved the hook so the wreath was centered on the door.
Not the hook itself.
Asymmetrical Spring Wreath
Equipment
- 1 Wire Cutters
Materials
- floral wire
- ribbon I used muslin fabric ripped into strips
- greenery stems
- 3 large florals
- filler flowers
Instructions
- Add greenery building out from 7-8 o'clock. Build up 2/3 and down 1/3 of the way to get the asymmetrical foundation
- Add second variety of greenery to add dimension
- Add three large florals at the center point where the greenery foundation meetsin the shape of a triangle
- Add filler flowers sporadically among the greenery
- Add ribbon behind the three large flowers with floral wire
Now that it’s all done I had this thought.
Last week I shared the basket that I have hanging in our Spring entryway.
I love it, but a basket like that might not be something you’re interested in.
If not, just make this asymmetrical Spring wreath and hang it on your coat rack and it will be just as beautiful!
What can I use instead of spring wreath?
- basket of flowers
- bag of flowers
- Rain boots full of flowers
- Tulips crate with flowers
- galvanized bucket with flowers
Thanks so much for stopping by.
It really means more to me that you know!
