DIY Succulent Wreath
Creating your own DIY succulent wreath is a fun and rewarding way to add a touch of nature to your home decor! This project is perfect for all skill levels and a great way to get creative with different succulent varieties. Hang up your unique succulent wreath and enjoy the beauty of nature right at your doorstep. It's a delightful way to add a touch of greenery and charm to your home!
Supplies Needed:
Grapevine wreath (Dollar Tree)
Gold “hello” wreath (Dollar Tree)
Succulents x7 (Dollar Tree)
Twine (Dollar Tree)
Hot glue or E6000
Step 1: Add “hello” wreath
First you’ll want to remove the tags from both of your wreaths.
Now you’ll be attaching the gold wreath so that it hangs in the middle of the grapevine wreath.
These particular grapevine wreaths from Dollar Tree are wrapped in twine, so I actually just unwrapped the end of that twine and used it to hang the gold “hello” wreath by just looping it around it, and then gluing the end of the twine back onto the grapevine wreath using some E6000 glue.
Here it is after I unwrapped the end of the twine:
And here’s how it looked after adding the gold “hello” wreath and then gluing the twine back down:
If you don’t want to do it that way you could also just tie a new loop of twine around both wreaths instead.
Step 2: Add succulents
Now remove all the tags from your succulents.
Next you’ll be removing the stems from all of them.
I thought I would end up having to cut the stems off with wire cutter or some such, but they actually just pop right off if you pull them!
Now decide how you want them to be arranged on your wreath.
I arranged mine so that all the succulents were on the right side of the wreath.
But you could arrange yours differently, or get even more succulents to fill in the entire wreath if you like!
Once you’re happy with where you’ve placed them, you can start gluing them onto the grapevine wreath!
I would recommend using either hot glue or E6000 to attach the succulents.
Or possibly a combination of both types of glue!
Hot glue will dry quickest. E6000 takes awhile to dry but has a stronger hold.
So combining them both will ensure each piece stays exactly where you placed it until the E6000 is fully dried.
If you do use only E6000 glue just make sure that you don’t move the wreath around, so that you’re succulents stay in place for awhile until they’re fully dried!
Step 3: Add a loop to hang it
If you plan on hanging your wreath you may want to also add a way to hang it!
There are a lot of different ways to do this, but my personal favorite is jute twine!
Just take a small piece, create a loop with it, and either glue it onto the back of your wreath at the top, or you can do what I did and tie the ends of it onto the twine that’s already wrapped around the grapevine wreath.
Here’s a photo to give you a better idea of how I did it:
After that I tied a double knot at each end of the loop, around the existing twine on the wreath.
Then just trimmed off the excess twine at each end.
And that’s all there is to it!
Some other options would be to use metal wire, or even ribbon!

And here’s what the wreath looks like once it’s all finished!
