This DIY spring wreath made with lamb’s ear and peonies is one of the simplest and most beautiful crafts you can make this season. It’s a bright, cheerful pop of color for your front door or mantel.
Hello friends! I’m thrilled to bring pink back into my home decor this spring. Pink lifts my mood after a long winter and pairs beautifully with turquoise and neutral tones. For that reason I created a wreath using vivid pink peonies and soft green lamb’s ear. I originally made this wreath a few years ago, and it still makes an annual appearance at the first sign of spring.
I used lamb’s ear stems to add soft texture and a calming green base, then layered bold peony blooms for color and impact. This year I had plenty of lamb’s ear on hand from holiday decorating, so I was able to make a bright, fresh wreath quickly and affordably. The project is forgiving and easy to adapt, and the finished wreath looks polished without much fuss.
Between two versions I’ve made over the years, this one feels like an evolved, improved take on the original. I kept a small “welcome” sign from the older wreath because I liked it, but the new floral arrangement is my favorite for spring. The whole process is quick and satisfying—so quick that I recorded a short video to capture how easily it comes together.

If you want a wreath that reads fresh and vibrant from a distance, use large peony blooms as the focal points and lamb’s ear to soften the shape and add depth. A few small filler flowers finish the composition and blend the blooms into the wreath so nothing looks glued on as an afterthought.
Supplies for DIY Spring Wreath
- Grapevine wreath (I used an 18” wreath)
- Lamb’s ear stems (about 5–6 stems)
- Coral pink peony blooms (6 large blooms recommended)
- Assorted small pink filler blooms
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Floral wire cutters

I filmed the assembly so you can see how quickly the wreath comes together. The video shows placement and simple tips for keeping stems secure without overworking the wreath.
Directions to Make Your Simple Spring Wreath
The process is straightforward and beginner-friendly. You’ll layer stems, step back to check balance, and secure everything with hot glue.
1. Trim stems and layer them into the wreath
Use floral wire cutters to trim stems to a manageable length. Start by arranging your lamb’s ear as the base layer. I like to imagine a dividing line and fill one side of the wreath with lamb’s ear, leaving some gaps for the larger blooms to sit naturally.
First layer: Place lamb’s ear stems so the soft leaves overlap and create volume, concentrating them where you want the most texture.
Second layer: Add the peonies next. Start with five and adjust—sometimes a sixth bloom balances the composition perfectly.
Third layer: Tuck in smaller filler flowers to cover gaps and blend the focal blooms into the base. These small flowers help the arrangement read cohesive and finished.
2. Hot glue everything into place
Once you’re satisfied with the placement, use a hot glue gun to secure stems and blooms to the grapevine base. Hot glue helps keep artificial stems from shifting in wind or when the wreath is moved.
That’s it—you’re finished! Hang the wreath on your front door or display it on a mantel or wall. It looks great outdoors when weather permits, and it also makes a lovely indoor focal piece that brightens any room.
I kept mine on the front door all season one year, then later moved it to the mantel to keep it out of reach of little hands. Either way, this wreath is resilient, timeless, and easy to refresh. If you make one, it will likely become a repeat favorite for spring decorating.
Sources and Inspiration
Use a firm grapevine base and good-quality lamb’s ear stems for the best texture. Large peony blooms in coral or pink make a strong statement—pair them with small accent flowers for balance. This combination of soft foliage and bright blooms is a classic spring look that works with many door and entryway styles.
I love how this project turned out—it’s simple, fast, and beautiful. If you try it, you’ll have a spring wreath you’ll enjoy for years.
