This lush DIY boxwood wreath filled with butterflies and dotted with baby’s breath is the essence of spring! You can add a big dose of nature to your front door or home decor in under an hour with this simple wreath. Despite looking lifelike, it uses a faux boxwood garland and baby’s breath so you can reuse it year after year. Even the feather butterflies could pass for the real thing!
Secure the beginning of the boxwood garland to the wreath frame with a length of floral wire. Wrap the garland around the wreath frame, adjusting as needed to fill out the entire frame.
Tip: We recommend using 2 boxwood garlands to ensure the frame is completely covered.
The garland is just long enough to wrap around the frame. You may need to space it out a bit, but don’t worry if there are some gaps. You can fill them in with butterflies and baby’s breath.
Attach the feather butterflies to the wreath by wrapping their wire stem around a portion of the boxwood and trimming.
Trim sprigs of baby’s breath from the larger bunch using wire cutters.
Add the baby’s breath sprigs throughout the wreath by adding a dab of hot glue to the bottom and inserting among the boxwood.
I absolutely love crafting with these feather butterflies! Check out how I used them to make these butterfly balloons and a spring flower box centerpiece!
