DIY Herbal Wreath

By Amy Williams

An herb wreath will transition beautifully in your home from summer to fall. It is a great way to greet your guests at the front door or welcome them to your kitchen. This wreath can be created with real, dried herbs from your garden or with faux greenery to last for years to come. The best part is that you can use any of your favorite herbs from sage, thyme, rosemary, basil, lavender or eucalyptus. It’s an easy DIY that takes less than 30 minutes to assemble.

IT IS A GREAT WAY TO GREET YOUR GUESTS

AT THE FRONT DOOR OR HANG IN YOUR KITCHEN.

STEP ONE: Gather your materials. You will need a grapevine wreath, wire cutters, floral wire and a variety of herbs. We used 9 stems of sage and 2 sprigs of cut eucalyptus.

STEP TWO: Separate and cut the stems into individual sprigs with wire cutters. We left the sage in larger bundles to fill out the wreath, but cut the eucalyptus into individual stems.

STEP THREE: Place the larger bundles of herbs directly into the grapevine wreath about 3-4 inches apart, in the same direction. Alternate between the inside and outside of the wreath so that you get the best coverage. STEP FOUR: Place the individual stems sporadically around the bundles, alternating between the inside and outside of the main greenery.

STEP FIVE: Use floral wire to secure the middle of the stems to the wreath.

STEP SIX: Fluff the greenery to spread out the leaves and evenly cover the wreath. Most faux stems are made from wire so it is easy to bend. Your wreath is ready to hang.
