DIY Wooden Bead Wreath for Spring

This DIY wooden bead wreath is ideal for spring but could also be kept up all summer long. This easy tutorial will help you make one in an afternoon.

Spring is around the corner so it's time for a new spring wreath for our front door home decor. Today I'm sharing this modern farmhouse style wooden bead wreath with some faux peonies, (my favorites), a few other spring blossoms, and greenery mixed in.

How to Make a Wooden Bead Wreath

Step 1: Paint the wood bead halves and the wreath frame with white chalk paint. This required a second coat for good coverage. You could use any white paint or a different color if you want.

Step 2: Once the paint is dry add a hanger on the back of the frame. I used a small piece of a pipe cleaner and hot glued it to the back leaving a little hump in the middle for a hanger. Update: Hot glue wasn't strong enough. After a couple of weeks, it broke. Instead, try stapling the pipe cleaner to the wood.

Step 3: Hot glue the beads onto the front of the wreath form. Start with one in front of the spot where you placed your hanger. Then continue adding a bead to each side leaving some space at the bottom for flowers. I ended up using 19 of the 20 split wooden balls for a 16 inch frame.

Step 4: Hot glue faux flowers with larger ones in the center of the open space working outward towards the balls.

I used some large beautiful peony flowers from my simple spring peony wreath a while back. Then I add some smaller flowers, leaves, and other vining pieces on the sides.

This was a quick and easy one to create and I love the way it turned out.

Happy Spring!
