This DIY Umbrella Wreath Is The Perfect Door Decor For Spring

Welcome Spring With An Umbrella “Wreath” Door Decoration

I don’t do a lot of DIY home decor projects, but occasionally I will succumb to their allure if they’re of the “quick and easy” variety. This 5-minute umbrella “wreath” fit the bill perfectly, and I just love how it looks! Perfect for springtime.

I recently saw a darling version of this project in Redbook Magazine from Gina at Random Thoughts from an Incoherent Mind. This simple, and slightly unorthodox, “wreath” provides big impact with minimal supplies and prep, which makes it my kind of project!

I decided to give it a try and the results have me smiling each time I look at my front door. :-)

How To Make A DIY Umbrella Wreath For Your Front Door

Supplies

Silk flowers
Umbrella with a hooked handle (I found the green polka dot one at Target a long time ago, so it isn’t available anymore, but they have tons of other cute options!)
Ribbon

Directions

Prop the umbrella up, so it’s standing straight, with whatever you have on hand. I used a basket filled with a couple of blankets.

Tie a ribbon around the middle of the umbrella. Make sure to tie it nice and tight! The spot where you tie the ribbon determines where the bottom of the “vase” begins.

Arrange the flowers in the top of the umbrella. I used two big bunches of silk flowers (about 24 total stems) to get the look I wanted.

And that’s it! Hang the umbrella from a standard wreath door hook and admire your handy work :-)
