My sunflower wreath DIY themed door hanger turned out better than I imagined.
I have always had a love of sunflowers. They are like the true sign of summer and just seem to make you smile. I have grown sunflowers that were as big as your head and some as small as golf balls.
So with the passing of the fourth of July and weather steaming up, I felt the time was right to decorate my front door with my beloved sunflowers.
How to Make a Sunflower Wreath DIY Project
The biggest cost to this wreath was the purchase of the oval-shaped grapevine base. It measures approximately 19″ long by 16″wide. The price was $4.99 but was on sale at Hobby Lobby so I only payed $3.50 and was thrilled with this find.
My next purchase was at the Dollar Tree where I bought 4 sunflower bunches for $1 dollar each. I also picked up a few other spikes at the same price to add some symmetry to the design. These bunches I actually just slide into the stick base and they held beautifully.
Next and finally I added the wired burlap ribbon that I already had on hand, so my total was approximately $12 for the completed wreath.
It looks great on my front door, which is under a covered porch. I do get a lot of afternoon direct sunlight on that door , that is one reason why I prefer to attach my floral stems into the base rather than hot glue them due to the melting of the glue because of the sun.
Total time spent was about 20 minutes and little jute tie on the back for hanging and the job was complete. I hope you try one of these with your own favorite flowers, just sit back and enjoy the comments and compliments that you will receive.
