And for spring to roll in, I’m showing you how to make a green wreath for spring. I have a whole collection of them here on the blog. Of course I was not always a wreath maker. You can see my first attempt here. It was not bad, but I think I’ve managed to improve a bit.
This can serve as a foundation for the rest of your wreath. I have used it before in the schitzophrenic wreath which shows a bit of this neutral underneath.
In this case, I really did not need this neutral base since I covered the whole shape with other fabric, as you’ll see below.
To me spring means the green grass, the green leaves on the trees. By the time summer rolls around here in Greece the grass has dried out and looks parched from all the heat. All I can think about it taking a dive in the water, hence the color blue is summer!
But back to spring, Yes! Green is the color of spring. Oh and it also happens to be my favorite color. Betcha didn’t know that! My green was not exactly the Greenery color, but it was close enough for my purposes.
I hope you have a chance to try out this simple way to make a wreath. Do you also incorporate real plants and flowers in your decor?
And now scroll on down to add your spring crafts and ideas. And if you aren’t a blogger take a look at all the creative ideas from our friends.

There is so much you can do with this wreath. The base is neutral and can be used for all seasons. Cute wreath. Maria

How pretty! I especially like your idea of adding rosemary! It's my favorite option for just about any arrangement! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures

Yes Katrin I too think the yellow screams spring. And that sharp green is not a wallflower either. ;)

Just the look I was going for. I think after this harsh winter we need to wake up and smell the flowers Gail.
