Wreath forms: The foundation of the wreath

Most wreaths use a wreath form as a base foundation. Wire base forms are the most popular and versatile option. Use a multi-circle wire wreath frame for a full, lush wreath. Metal floral hoop ring forms are perfect for minimalist wreath types. Grapevine wreath forms are also a lovely option to add to your kit of wreath supplies.

• Classic Wire Wreath Form
• Grapevine Wreath Form

Main bulk decor material

Most wreaths have the main wreath material which makes up the bulk of the wreath. For instance, Christmas wreaths often use evergreen branches as the main wreath material. Burlap, ribbon, grapevine, driftwood, and tinsel are other options.

• Natural Boxwood Greenery Stems
• Fresh Magnolia Leaves
• Fresh Eucalyptus Bunch

Wreath-making supplies for decor accents

Add decor accents to your wreath after attaching the main bulk material with wire. Decor accents like pinecones, ribbon, dried citrus, and other embellishments are a lovely addition to your wreath-making supplies. Decor accents are generally attached with hot glue (although wire is good too).

• Natural Pinecones (Small Bag)
• Organic Dried Lavender Stems
• Fresh Flowers (Urban Stems)
• Faux Floral Stems

Wreath supplies for attaching decor to the base

Floral wire is a must-have on your list of supplies. Use wire or glue to attach decor materials to the base. It’s common to use wire to attach the main bulk decor material. Some wreath forms come with pre-attached wire, but many makers prefer to use floral paddle wire. Save hot glue for adding finishing touches.

Wreath hangers & wreath hanging materials/supplies

Wreath hangers are the perfect way to suspend a wreath from a doorway. Make a DIY wreath hanger out of ribbon or pick a top-rated wreath hanger to use year after year.

Deco mesh for making wreaths

Deco mesh is a type of decorative ribbon often used to dress up a plain wreath. It has a loose weave (like burlap), and is generally a solid color with some glitter or sparkle. Wrapping a plain wreath with deco mesh in a seasonal color is a very easy way to reuse a plain wreath all year.

Wreath-making kits & project tutorials

Wreath kits are a great option if you don’t have many of the required wreath supplies already. There are some wonderful wreath kits available online, many of which include tutorials. Here are some wreath projects:

• Christmas Hoop Wreath Project With Tutorial
• Woodland Christmas Grapevine And Pinecone Wreath
• Silver & Snow Farmhouse Holiday Wreath

Where to buy wreath supplies

Wreath supplies are easy to find and priced well online and in local dollar stores. Specialty wreath supplies in specialized craft stores are often more expensive.

Wholesale wreath supplies

Wholesale wreath-making supplies are generally easiest to find online. You could also work with a local florist to place a bulk wholesale order.
