After the winter doldrums, I was so ready to enjoy the warm summer weather, but with it comes a lot of work and sometimes the home takes a backseat. I still love having a pretty home, and I have really prefer finding simple ways to keep it looking good through those hot summer days. Creating wreaths is something I enjoy. it was time to trade out the spring wreath for a summer wreath with the perfect combination of summer and ease. do like to keep it simple, and I want to show you some simple gorgeous DIY summer wreaths today.

I love a beautiful wreath on my front door. When it comes to my front door wreath I like to keep it simple. I created a really pretty Eucalyptus wreath in the spring that was super super easy, and now I want to share how I am going to transform it for summer with a couple dollars and about 10 minutes.

Also, I have tons of gorgeous summer wreath ideas! I am linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to bring you some super cute summertime wreaths that are easy to make!

But first, let’s talk about mine! Like I said, I have this super cute Eucalyptus wreath I made in the spring.

I wanted to turn it into a quasi floral wreath using the eucalyptus wreath as the base. I want to have some simple poops of color that say ” welcome summer ” and that gives my home some great curb appeal.

I am nothing if not thrifty, and I love being able to take one wreath and repurpose it for another season temporarily. I don’t want to store a ton of different wreaths when I can reuse one wreath for many different occasions.

So this is how I use one wreath for many seasons:

First, I do not use hot glue or any glue of any kind. I use floral wire. This way, if I want to change something, it’s as easy as cutting the wire and replacing it with something else. In my opinion it is the perfect way to create reusable wreaths. I like to use a grapevine wreath form as my base for my ever changing wreaths. It is a great way to use a neutral backdrop for your DIY wreath.

So I am going to use my Eucalyptus wreath to make a summer door wreath and give it a bit more to make it perfect for summer. I was tempted to add some red flowers as well to give it a patriotic look but I could not find any red flowers that I liked, so I am using the two that I did like. I want my wreath to give a warm welcome to anyone stopping by the house.

I let you in on a secret…I am not a big fan of fake flowers, so I have a hard time finding anything I like at the craft store. Plus, they can be incredibly expensive and I am not a fan of paying so much for them either.

So I kept it simple and found some pretty blue berries and white flowers to add.These are the ones I found at Joanns on sale. I think it will help make an adorable summer wreath .

What you will need to make a wreath like this:

wire cutters
floral wire or hot glue gun (whatever you prefer to use)
faux flowers
wreath base

Once I have the flowers, I like to break them apart. You can easily pull them apart with your hands usually. You can also use a set of wire cutters to cut each piece off, which I have done as well.

How I add these flowers to the wreath is super easy. I first pulled apart all the flowers and then I create small bunches with a little bit of each of the flowers I have chosen. I make sure to add some of the leaves as well to add some more fullness.

I then wrap wire around the bunch and use the pliers or wire cutters to tighten the wire so that it doesn’t loosen up around the flowers.

I then take the bunches and I secure them with the wire as well to the wreath.

I go in one direction, facing them all the same way, almost in a fan like pattern.

And this is how it turned out. I am super happy with how easy it was to add a bit to this wreath to make it perfect for summer. The simple flowers are a lovely accent to this pretty wreath. It has a touch of farmhouse style, which is so nice.

A summer wreath is pretty much all I need on the porch right now.

I love the combination of the blue berries and the white flowers. It is a good use of inexpensive faux floral.

And it cost me about 5 dollars to add these flowers to my Eucalyptus wreath and turn it into a summer flower wreath.

I think it turned out pretty great! It is the perfect wreath for the summer season and I think that I will enjoy a nice ice cream cone or summer drink, sit on the porch swing and enjoy it all.

From colorful summer wreath ideas to a rustic wreath, I have tons of great DIY projects involving wreaths and how to create them easily and inexpensively.
