Every year I try to think of as many DIY summer door wreath ideas as I can. I love the look of wreaths that have consistency, and that usually means that I use the same supply for the entire wreath, like with the paper straw wreath I made. So I thought, “Why not make a wreath that’s completely covered in colorful pinwheels?” I took my idea and ran with it to make this fun DIY summer craft.
Begin by wrapping your wreath form with the white ribbon, using the hot glue gun and glue to secure the beginning and end of the ribbon.
Using the side cutters, cut off the ends of the pinwheels.
Begin by determining where you want to place your pinwheels. The pinwheels should overlap a little so that the white isn’t showing underneath. I would position the pinwheel where you want it, and then push it down into the Styrofoam to make an indentation. Then grab your scissors and push and twist the pinwheels so they puncture the ribbon. After the is hole is made, insert the pinwheel and continue on.
Wait until you have pinwheel spacing the way you want it before gluing the pinwheels into place (I didn’t use a set pattern). Once every thing looks good, remove the pinwheels one-by-one, put a dab of glue on the hole, and slide the pinwheel into place. Be careful not to smush your pinwheel down too far.
Use the hot glue to secure a small piece of scrap ribbon to make the hanger on the backside of the wreath.
Seriously how fun is this pinwheel wreath? It’s the perfect, summery addition to any front door. If you’re looking for some DIY summer crafts, definitely add this DIY pinwheel wreath to your list!
