DIY Wreath With Garden Gloves and Flowers. It’s time to think about spring and gardening, but you don’t have to be a gardener to have fun with this project.
Pinterest Challenge
A spring DIY wreath with garden gloves and flowers is our latest Pinterest Challenge project. And what a fun project it is at that. A big thank you goes to Cindy of County Road 407 for supplying us with a delightful inspirational photo of a garden hose wreath with flowers and gloves. This is going to be quite interesting seeing what everyone comes up with for the challenge.
If you’re stopping by from Lora of Lora B. Create & Ponder welcome! Her wooden spool carrots are truly brilliant!
Let me fill you in on the details, just in case you’re new to our Pinterest Challenge series.
- Each month our hostess Cindy selects a photo from Pinterest or the internet for inspiration.
- Then each blogger adds their spin on the inspiration, adapting it to their home and style of decorating
- The owner of the photo has granted permission to share the photo for our challenge, and you can visit their posts for further insights.
Our Pinterest Challenge inspiration photo for this month is from Jill of Create, Craft, Love. Feel free to click over to see her tutorial on her garden hose spring wreath.
DIY Wreath With Garden Gloves and Flowers
Instead of a garden hose, I’m using a wood initial wreath that I already had, updating it to have the same feel as our inspiration photo. Part of my personal challenge is trying to use items that I already have on hand as much as possible. If you are looking for a similar wreath click here.
A quick coat of shiny bright green paint makes this wreath really pop on our dark front door.
To assemble the wreath, use a zip tie to bundle the flowers together. Then zip tie a pair of garden gloves around the flowers letting the fingers stick our like leaves.
A long piece of yellow and white grosgrain ribbon holds the flowers and gloves in place on the side of the wreath. I love using zip ties instead of hot glue, so I can easily repurpose the wreath again.
In my opinion those cute green and white garden gloves are the best part of the wreath. Of course the striped ones in the photo of Jill’s wreath are even better.
Now for my secret of hanging the wreath on the door so that it stays straight. The wreath tends to be heavy on one side with the weight of the gloves and flowers. Using a Command picture hanging strip at the bottom of the wreath holds it in place without it being visible.

Cheers!

Michelle,
This is fabulous I love the initial wreath choice. The colors are so striking on your door.
Cindy
Thank you Cindy, so happy I could use some things I already had on had. Happy Spring!
it’s just precious. I love the pop of green. So fun and fresh.
Thanks Katie, this is one of my favorite shades of green!
Michelle your version of the Pinterest Challenge is so cute. Love the way you created a wreath to fit your personality. The green pops on your door. Happy Spring!
Thanks Terrie, I love recycling this initial wreath for spring.
Wowza, you really nailed it! I love the monogram and wish I had one like that. It looks fantastic on your super-duper-happy and welcoming entry! Thank you for joining in! Pinned
Wow thanks Cindy, I forgot how much fun it is to make wreaths. You picked a good one for inspiration! Thanks for pinning too!
Adorable, Michelle! Those gloves are quite the find, and how clever to think of them as leaves. Great idea to use another hook to even out the hanging; yes, sometimes the weight difference is an issue. Your letter is perfect and I love that color green. Love the bright happy colors on your black door!
I LOVE your wreath, Michelle! You really used the inspiration photo so well! Love that green monogram as your base! Pinned! (and your pin is super pretty, too!)
Thank you so much Julie for your sweet comments! I got lucky on this one having a wreath I could recycle. Thanks for pinning too!
You created a beautiful wreath and it really pops hanging on your dark door. I never have thought to use zip ties for wreath making and am glad that you pointed that trick out to me. You also were clever to use a 3M strip to keep the wreath straight on your door.
I used to steal zip ties from my husbands stash for projects. Now I have my own supply and use them on all sorts of things around the house.
hi michelle, i love the initial too! I missed this challenge but wanted to stop by and say hi!
stay healthy and connected, laura
We missed you in the challenge but hopefully you’ll be in the next. Stay well!
Michelle, I love the initial wreath and the idea to use zip ties for easy removal. Did you share where to bought the wreath? Love the bright green and the flower garden gloves. What a cute way to display the flowers. Beautiful job, sweet friend.
Yes I added a link for a wreath similar to mine just in case anyone is interested. Thank you for the sweet comments my friend!
Oh, cute!!! Michelle, this is a fabulous idea to use your family initial as the base and I love the bright green color! I don’t know why I don’t think about zip ties ~ we have a ton of them out in the garage. I do use kitchen garbage bag ties all the time, though. 🙂 Love your sweet door decoration!!!
Happy spring and stay well,
Virtual hugs,
Barb 🙂
Thank you so much Barb! I love monograms and was so excited that I could recycle the wreath for the Pinterest Challenge. Stay well!
You nailed the beautiful spring green color, such a unique and pretty door hanger!
Thanks so much Pamela, this was such a fun project. I forgot how much I enjoy making wreaths. Happy Spring!
