Let’s make an easy DIY artificial eucalyptus flowerpot wreath. It’s perfect for the front door!
However, it will work well as a fall wreath with a few additions.
Are you ready? I hope you are as thrilled as I am with this fun idea.
How about I share the steps to make an easy DIY wreath with you? Who loves the idea of a spring wreath that works for the summer season?
The best thing, this has garlands, flower pots, and no glue! How fun is this?
Make an Easy DIY Eucalyptus Wreath Using Garland
Step 1: Buy the Greenery
First off, I did find this two-pack eucalyptus for $14.99 on Amazon. Additionally, if you have prime, it ships free. Now you may be wondering how good of a product can this be for the price.
I highly recommend this garland. Before ordering this, I was a bit skeptical. However, needing faux weather-safe eucalyptus because this will be exposed to the natural elements, I gave this a shot.
And let me tell you I love it! I am a fake flower snob. I’m not a big fan, therefore, when I find a fake that I like I’ll shout it from the rooftop. This is a high quality product, so get it!!

Attach The Wreath Frame with the Zip Ties
Step 2: Connecting the Forms Together
After receiving the eucalyptus garland, I put a plan together to make an easy DIY eucalyptus wreath.
Before I begin a new project, I always check my craft closet. I was also especially happy to find 30″ and 18″ grapevine wreath blanks.
Let’s begin with connecting the wreaths together. Zip ties work especially well for this step. You can find these here at Amazon. I am using the zip ties because I want the wreaths for this easy DIY project to be stable. Also, I think the zip ties allowed for a snugger fit.
Connecting the wreaths together also makes this eucalyptus wreath grand and will show up beautifully on the front door.
Supplies List:
- 30″ grapevine wreath
- 18″ grapevine wreath
- 2 packs of a double pack of fake eucalyptus garland
- clear zip ties
- florist wire 22 gauge
- flowerpots 3 the larger size and 6 smaller sizes
- jute or twine
- wire cutters
- scissors
Begin Adding the Larger Flowerpots Tying Them with Jute
Step 3: Adding the Bigger Pots
Next, I begin adding the flowerpots. Incidentally, I share how to age flower pots using lime, you will enjoy this post and they are so easy to make!
For this fast wreath project, I add white craft paint to my lime-aged pots by brushing on the paint. Then I immediately rub the paint with a rag. This is done to allow the texture to be seen on the pots from adding the lime. Additionally, this protects the pots from the elements.
After rubbing the paint, I add a bit of green to this wreath for a moss look. This adds another layer of texture to the flowerpots and adds an aged appearance.
Begin Adding Mini Pots to the Flower Pot Wreath
Step 4: Putting the Tiny Pots on This Wreath
Next step, we add the small terracotta pots using the same method again. Here, we use two small clay pots. This works well for the odd number theory regularly used in decorating.
Also, the best part of this simple eucalyptus wreath is no glue. This also gives me the option to reuse these pieces for another project.
Now, Let’s Begin Cutting and Adding the Garland to the Grapevine Wreath
Step 5: Cut the Garland and Florist Wire
Here, I cut my first garland into four pieces. We then begin adding a section at a time. During this process, we use florist wire to hold the garland in place. Simply, find an opening on the wreath and slide your wire through the grapevine round and twist tightly.
Continue this process with the additional garland until you cover the wreath to your liking.
Also, take a step back to look at the wreath after the first garland. This is particularly important to make sure the wreath is symmetrical. Continue until the greenery on the wreath is full enough. By the way, I did keep the grapevine bare here and there. I like the texture of the grapevine.
The best part, this wreath can easily work for the fall. Add fake pumpkins to the greens or different shades of fall foliage to the pots. You can add floral stems to the wreath seasonally as well.

PIN IT TO REMEMBER IT FOR INSPIRATION!
Cindy this is adorable! I love using zip ties to put things together too. Love the pots and seed packets. So cute!
Thank you Corine!
Cindy I love your wreath. It may be one of my all time favorites. Your pots on your front porch are beautiful too! Thanks for sharing! Pining!
Aww thanks Tammy, it’s pretty high on my list too. Thanks for Pinning!
Your wreath is beautiful, Cindy. Love the little pots!
Thanks Ann. Hope your hand is getting better everyday
Your wreath is beautiful! I love the eucalyptus and the flower pots just complete this. I also love the wood photo! Great job!
Thank you so much Michele. Hope you are getting more settled in the new place.
Cindy, your wreath is beautiful and looks so pretty on your lovely front porch! Happy Thursday, sweet friend!
You are so kind Shannon. Hope you are doing well.
What a darling wreath!
Thank you so much!
Super cute wreath. You are so creative. Love this.
Thanks so Kris. You are one of the most creative people I know
What a pretty wreath! My favorite are the little pots! You are always so creative!!!
Thanks so much and I have to agree. The flower pots are the finishing touch!
What a pretty summer wreath! The larger sized grapevine wreath shows up nicely on your front door.
Cindy, I LOVE your wreath with its eucalyptus and sweet flower pots!!! Faux eucalyptus is better anyway since the scent of the real McCoy is really strong when fresh. 😉 I love what how you layered the paint on the flower pots ~ I need to try this. I just got a really nice small pot at Lowe’s yesterday and it is straight up the side with no lip. It would look nice with the dry brush green/white for patina. Really nice job on your wreath!
I learn so much from everyone’s posts here on $10 on the 10th… Like layering wreaths and tying them together for fullness. Never would have come up with that on my own. <3
Enjoy your pretty wreath and I love the wire cloches you have out front in the urns… Might steal that idea, too. 😉
Summer hugs,
Barb 🙂
Darling wreath with the little pots. Yes, great for different seasons. it is a perfect canvas to create the look we want for all different holidays.
Cute wreath – How did you ever create this for under $10! Wow – good for you!
Cindy, what a beautiful vintage inspire wreath. Loved it!
Thank you so much Tammy
Your wreath looks great on your front door! I really love how you decorated it for summer and it will be easy to reuse the wreath for another season my changing out the decorations.
It was fun to make. Thank you!
Cindy, I’ve been wondering what kind of wreath to make for summer and now you’ve inspired me. I have some mini flower pots that I chalk painted last year that would look lovely on a wreath like yours – thanks for the idea!
What a perfect summer craft and how welcoming!! Thanks for the great tutorial.
I keep seeing cute summery wreaths like this and thinking I need to make one already! Our current one is so sad. Thanks for the ideas.
Cindy your wreath is so pretty. I love that you added the pots to it. It will be a great summer wreath for your home.
Great job on this wreath! I am loving the new faux greenery that has become popular lately. It is really hard to tell the difference between it and the real stuf! Pinning!
Thank you. I’m telling you Cindy, click on the link. 2 garlands for $15 on Amazon. One of the best I have seen.
I’m a fake flower snob
Such a fun wreath and so smart to use zip ties! Brilliant!
What a great project. Your front door looks amazing too.
You have totally out done yourself with this one, Cindy, wow, it’s really beautiful! I’m in love and I can’t believe that greenery is faux! I need to check that out for sure. Thanks for the heads up and for all the fabulous ispiration too. You amaze me. Big hugs, CoCo
I love this. I have a dark front door and this color green will show up so well on it.
Thank you so much! Hope you make something similar for your front door.
I love it against my dark door too
Love your wreath! It wouldn’t last long on my front door however. Alas, we get too much wind here, but the wreath is perfect!
Thank you Sandi
Such a beautiful wreath.

Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Lynne. Loving it against our black door
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this wreath!!!!! I think adding the tag puts this over the top for me. I had to pin this because it needs to be shared!
Thanks for the inspiration;)
Maria thank you so much for pinning. I’m thrilled you like the wreath. I’m loving it on our porch
What a gorgeous summer wreath, Cindy, and I just love the vintage vibe! We have the same door, right down to the color and hardware. I think my door needs one of these! Pinned 🙂
This is lovely, Cindy! I love how you decorated your wreath–pinning! Thanks for sharing at Vintage Charm!
Thanks so much for the feature Barb. I see the shed saga us still going, UGH
Still love your wreath, Cindy! I am happy to feature it at this week’s Share Your Style #308 for you. 🙂 I have some really tiny terracotta flower pots that I’ve had since high school, I think. I should paint them and “plant” them with faux flowers for my doll house scenes…
Happy 4th of July weekend and enjoy the festivities!!!!
Barb 🙂
Very pretty, Cindy and I love the clever way you added the pots. xo Laura
The wreath turned out great! I would not have thought to put two grapevine wreaths together! So smart! Love it!
This is fabulous. thank you for sharing how you attached the little pots. That would have been the biggest challenge. The final product is just so beautiful and it looks lovely against the dark color of your front door.
Such a great way to kick off the summer season! I can’t believe that is faux greenery. It looks real! Loving and pinning as always sweet friend, CoCo
I love green wreaths – they can be so handy to have to add another wreath too or like the pots you added.
This is so cute! I love that you used little terracotta pots!
Beautiful wreath but oh my those flower pots look perfect. Pinning to try something similar. Great idea.
