Welcome, DIY enthusiasts! It’s Joette from the Bowdabra Design Team, and I’m excited to share another tip from the Florist! We’re going to create a stunning Coastal-Inspired wreath that will add a touch of the beach to your home decor. The coastal-inspired decor is a popular style that draws inspiration from the ocean, beach, and coastal landscapes, creating a relaxed and calming atmosphere.

For this wreath, we will be using natural elements like those found on the beach, combined with nautical accents. Plus, we’ll add a coastal-themed lantern from Dollar Tree in the center to create a beautiful evening ambiance. You can make your own 14″ Ivy wreath base to save money, or use a premade greenery wreath and jump right into decorating.

Get ready to transform your space into a coastal paradise with this budget-friendly DIY project. Let’s dive in and get started!

Instructions:

First, wrap ivy around a 14″ wire wreath form or optionally use an ivy greenery wreath base.

Next, attach the mini lantern to the center of the wreath by tying on some Bowdabra bow wire to the top loop of the lantern and tie it to the wreath. Add ribbon for the hanger.

Now, cut a length of Bowdabra bow wire, fold it in half, and lay it in the Bowdabra. Tuck the ends under to stay out of the way while you make your bow.

Knot the nautical rope and place it in the Bowdabra for the tails. Add some loose leaf foliage and then a dollar tree flower followed by a pick of berries. Make sure the greenery and the berries are on both sides, while the flower is only on one side.

Now, make a bow funky bow style and work with two ribbons together, add the ribbon with a loop on one side and tails on the other. You can pre-dovetail the tails.
