How To Make A Fairy Wreath

I LOVE making spring wreaths. There’s something about watching the weather turn from the dreary winter into spring that gets my creative juices flowing. I want to celebrate spring and add a touch of it everywhere I look!

I’ve made a large variety of spring wreaths over the years, from my Fly a Kite Spring Wreath from Socks to my Tulip Wreath for Spring (and more!). Now, I’m bringing a fairy garden spring wreath idea to life.

If you stroll through my spring wreath collection, you’ll see that this new design is truly unique and eye-catching, bringing a breath of fresh air to your home!

Supplies Needed To Make Fairy Wreath

• Patio paint in Fern Green, Geranium Red, Cloud White, and Sunshine Yellow
• Foam wreath form
• Chicken wire
• Unfinished Fairy Garden Door
• Moss (2 types)
• Foam ball
• Wine corks
• Paint brush
• Fairy Garden Miniatures (any that you love)
• Round foam brushes
• Serrated knife
• Craft knife
• Wire cutters
• Hot glue and glue gun

Step 1: Cut & Paint Styrofoam & Wine Corks

Start by making your mushrooms. Cut a styrofoam ball into fourths with your serrated knife. Paint with the red paint and then allow it to dry.

Cut wine corks in half with a craft knife. Paint white and allow to dry.

Once dry, add white circles to your mushrooms with a round sponge brush.

Step 2: Paint Wreath Form

Paint your wreath form green with the round paint brush. This will add a textured look to the wreath and prevent any visible white from gaps in the moss covering the form.

Step 3: Paint The Fairy Door

Next, paint your fairy door! I applied several coats of yellow paint to achieve good coverage. Make sure to paint thoroughly, especially if you plan to use this wreath outdoors.

Step 4: Add Chicken Wire To Wreath Form

Once your components are dry, you can begin to assemble your wreath.

Start by using wire cutters to trim a piece of chicken wire to fit the back of the wreath. Press the wire into the wreath form and use a bit of hot glue to secure it in place.

NOTE: You may want to wear protective gloves for this step because the wire is sharp. Ouch!

Step 5: Glue Moss To Wreath Form

Then, use sheet moss to cover the entire wreath. Secure it in place with hot glue.

Step 6: Glue Fairy Elements To Wreath

Now it’s time to start layering on your fun fairy garden elements!

I used the second type of moss on my wreath to make everything stand out. The miniatures you choose for your wreath are completely up to you (I used some clay pots and mini gnomes). Then, add on your mushroom pieces and fairy door to complete the look.

Secure everything in place with hot glue.

NOTE: I also added moss around my door and in the window to give the wreath a complete look. You can add as much or as little as you would like to your version. DIY spring wreath ideas are meant to be vibrant and customized!

Once completed, all that is left is to hang it on your front door!

Keep this one up all summer if you’d like. Spring wreath ideas that transition seamlessly into summer are my favorites!

I hope y’all enjoy this fairy garden spring wreath idea and will make one for your home as well. Spring crafting is a great way to celebrate the changing seasons and to keep the kids busy, too!

FAQs About Fairy Wreath

Can I Change The Size Of This Fairy Wreath?

Yes, you can! However, if you change the size of the wreath, you might need to adjust your fairy supplies to be bigger or smaller, depending on the wreath size you are using.

Can I Use A Grapevine Base Instead Of The Foam Base?

That’s a great idea! You can absolutely use a different base for this wreath to create a unique and personalized look for this design. If you do that, you may want to avoid putting some of the moss at the top so that the woody grapevine wreath shines through.

You can find fairy miniatures and decor at your local craft store, on Amazon, and even at Dollar Tree.

The sky’s the limit – let your imagination soar, and you can come up with amazing creations.
