I love love love spring! There is just something about spring that makes everything seem magical and wonderful. Maybe it’s the melting of the frozen tundra and return of colors, or maybe it’s the warmer temperatures. I can’t say for certain, but there is something in the air when spring comes around that is literally intoxicating.
When we lived in the south, I didn’t have quite the infatuation with spring that I do now. But now that we’re in the New England area, I celebrate the arrival of spring wholeheartedly! And what better way to welcome spring than with a beautiful new wreath?
I create a new wreath for our front door for every holiday and season, and spring is no exception! I know that sounds a little excessive, and you might be wondering where does she store all those wreaths, or how much money does that cost, but I am going to share a little secret with you… I use the exact same wreath form every time. I don’t need to store or purchase any wreath forms, because I have the only one I need right on my front door.
Basically, each new season or holiday I just switch out the accessories on the wreath and have a gorgeous, new, holiday-appropriate wreath for a fraction of what I’d have to spend to buy a new wreath each time. So I just have to come up with fun and creative ways to put everything on my wreath so that it will stay on there but at the same time will easily come off when I go to change out the accessories for the next holiday. You can check all the different versions of my wreath below.
Because St. Patrick’s Day and Easter are so close together this year, I decided to make my wreath more of a spring themed wreath than Easter specific so I’d get more than a week or two of use from it. Though I think the flowers and colors also look Easter appropriate!
Materials Needed to Create Interchangeable Spring Wreath
- Burlap-wrapped wreath (If your wreath isn’t already wrapped with burlap, you’ll need burlap fabric/ribbon, glue, and a wreath form.)
- Variety of spring flowers
- Floral wire
- Wire cutters
- Scissors
- Ribbon/bow
Steps to Create Interchangeable Spring Wreath
1. If your wreath isn’t already wrapped with burlap, wrap it with your burlap ribbon or fabric cut into strips. (Check out my tutorial on how to cut burlap if you want to get nice, straight strips that won’t fray.) Glue the end of your burlap to the back of the wreath, and wrap the burlap around the wreath until the entire wreath is wrapped with burlap.
2. Arrange your flowers on your wreath until they look the way you want them to. I did a layering effect with my flowers all around the wreath so it looks nice and full (and colorful!).
3. Cut strips of floral wire and use it to secure the flowers to the wreath. I wrapped the floral wire all the way around the wreath and didn’t even have to try to hide it. With all the flowers covering it up, it’s not even noticeable. Twist the ends of the wire around to the back of the wreath, and push them underneath so they won’t scratch up the door (you can see the arrows in the picture).
4. Make a bow from your ribbon and secure it to the wreath with more floral wire. (If you need help making a bow, check out this tutorial.) I totally reused the bow I made for my winter wreath. I just can’t get enough of that beautiful blue chevron ribbon!
And that’s it! Hang up your beautiful interchangeable spring wreath and celebrate spring’s glorious arrival! I use these heavy duty magnetic hooks to hang my wreaths so there’s no damage to the door or weatherstripping.
This wreath was really super easy to make. Of all my interchangeable wreaths, I think this one was the fastest one I’ve ever done. Basically just arrange and secure some flowers and a bow, and you have a beautiful interchangeable spring wreath that can be used for weeks! And when it’s time for the next holiday or season, just unwrap the wire and flowers and reuse the wreath!
I really love these flowers, don’t you? If I’ve inspired you to make your own interchangeable wreath, I’d love to hear about it! Leave a note and let me know how your wreath turned out!

What beautiful spring colors on your wreath Celeste. I love all the lavender and yellow and the bow is the perfect addition to complete it. And you know I am crazy about that interchangeable wreath of yours!
Thanks so much, Mary! I just love the colors those flowers add to our house! And I’m so glad to hear I’m not the only one with an obsession with this wreath, haha!
Great ideas and something that will not break the bank.
Thanks, Clearissa! This is definitely a very budget-friendly wreath!
I love it!! Having something that can last longer than just one holiday is great!! Thank you for sharing with us at the #HomeMattersParty
Thanks, Jamie! I try to get as much use out of all of my decorations as possible, even the seasonal stuff!
What a great idea to make a wreath that is interchangeable! I have just been making new ones for each season, but it would save me a lot of room if I just had one to switch out. I love the flowers you used on this one!
Thanks, Jenna! You should definitely consider making an interchangeable wreath. You’ll save a ton of storage space, and they’re really fun and easy to make!
That is a gorgeous wreath ~Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much, Nicole!
Superbe !!!

This is so beautiful! Thanks for sharing at Link Party Palooza.
Thanks so much, Anita!
Your spring wreath is lovely. It’s great that by changing it up a little you have a multi-seasonal wreath. That’s such time saver and budget friendly way to make wreaths. I found you at Sweet Inspiration party and I’d love to have you join Snickerdoodle Sunday Party. It opens today at 5:00 pm (ET). I hope to see you there!
Thanks, Beverly! It’s the best way I’ve found to be able to have a new wreath on my door every holiday without breaking the bank or overloading our small house!
Celeste, your spring wreath is so beautiful!! Great idea to keep using the same wreath form!! Thanks for linking up at Sweet Inspirations!!
Thanks so much, Keri! It’s such an easy way to save space and money!
This is SO SMART! I’ve just recently started collecting enough wreaths that I’ve begun to get worried I won’t have a place to store them all. This is such a better solution. Pinned and shared 🙂
Haha, Jess, so glad I can help you solve the dilemma of having too many wreaths! Because not having a new wreath for your door for every holiday just isn’t an option (at least in our house)!

Ooohhh!!! This is oh so, so cute! Totally craving spring right now, especially with the temperatures slowly rising like they are. Very much in love with the simplicity of the design. ♥ Haven’t really gotten into wreath making yet, though I’m very curious about it. 🙂
I totally understand craving spring! I like to put my spring wreath up early to add a bit of color to the home when everything is gray and dreary. Who knows, maybe it will help make spring come faster! 😉
