DIY Natural Wreath with Organic Touches

Supply List: DIY Natural Wreath

14” wire wreath frame
Burlap ribbon
Reindeer moss
Walnuts
Spanish moss
Star anise (optional)
Dried orange slices
Wood slices
Hot glue gun
Rubber silicone finger protectors or a popsicle stick
Raw umber paint (optional)

Step 1: Wrap the Wire Wreath Frame

Start by wrapping your wire wreath form with burlap. Using your hot glue gun, add a little bit of glue. This secures the end of the ribbon. Hold to set.

This creates the perfect foundation for gluing the natural materials that make this moss wreath DIY come to life. A grapevine wreath or straw wreath base works beautifully, too, if you want a different texture.

Step 2: Dry Brush Wood Slices

Use raw umber acrylic paint to dry brush your wood slices. This is a great way to give them a slightly aged look and enhance their natural appearance.

Next, place the wood slices on your wrapped wire wreath frame, alternating sizes, and glue them down. You’ll start to see your classic wreath taking shape, the best part of any DIY wreath project!

Step 3: Add Natural Elements with Orange Slices

Dried orange slices are the perfect way to add a touch of nature and a soft, organic look to your moss wreath DIY. After they’re dry, use your hot glue gun to attach them to the wood slices for added texture and color.

Step 4: Open Walnuts for Your Moss Wreath DIY

Carefully split walnuts using a utility knife and gloves. It’s an easy way to open them without cracking the shells. Remove the nut inside; we’ll use the shell halves for beautiful, natural elements.

Cindy's Note: If a few of the edges break on the shells. No worries, the Spanish moss will cover them. It's part of embracing nature's perfectly imperfect charm.

Step 6: Reindeer Moss for a Pop of Color and Natural Touch

Finish by gluing reindeer moss to fill any open spaces. Use silicone finger protectors or a popsicle stick to hold it while it sets. This keeps your fingers safe from burns.

The combination of the green moss adds another touch of nature alongside the walnuts, pine cones, oranges, and wood slices. The best part is that this DIY wreath project works for any time of year in your home decor.

Cindy's Note: Cindy’s Note: Reindeer moss is a great way to bring new life to your front porch or front door. Try adding it to a grapevine wreath with fresh greenery and pine cones. Its natural appearance and organic feel make it a favorite for home decor.
