DIY 10-MINUTE EASY SPRING SUCCULENT WREATH
Do you like an easy and fast DIY project?
Yep… me, too!
This early spring succulent wreath is so easy, it will only take you about 10 minutes to create!
Seriously… when I say fast, this DIY 10-minute wreath is just the ticket when you don’t have a lot of time, but want to pack a decor “punch” in your living room or the entry door to your home!
And this year, I’m using green and white for my spring decor colors. So, this faux succulent wreath was a no-brainer for My Wee Abode!
So, shall we take a look at how to create it?

What Will I Need to Make a Faux Succulent Wreath?
These are the items used to make this succulent wreath. And this wreath will last ‘forever’ because faux succulents are its base.
Also… for your convenience, I am sharing links to similar items below. However, if you can get to Michael’s or Hobby Lobby, the prices are better and everything is available in-store.
- Sunburst Grapevine Wreath (approx. 28″) This one is from Hobby Lobby with the 40% off coupon, and you can get something similar from Michael’s (wait for a sale!)
- Multi-textured/colored moss (again, use a coupon or wait for the sale)
- Assorted faux succulents (you won’t use all these for this project, but you just might want some extras for projects on the horizon)
- Small white faux peonies (mine are from Michael’s in-store)
- Floral Wire, 18 gauge (I use this floral wire all the time)
How Do I Make an Early Spring Succulent Wreath?
You can make your own spring succulent wreath in just a few minutes, using this tutorial.
Want to upcycle your grapevine wreath for ‘new’ seasonal decor? Using floral wire and simply sticking the stems into the grapevine allows you to reuse the base over and over, just like I did with my 10-minute DIY Fall Wreath.
- Take your floral wire and cut one piece into about four or five 3-inch pieces and bend them into a “U” shape.
- (a) Take your moss and place different textures (and colors, if you want) in patches around the inside of the wreath. (b) Using your u-shaped wire pieces, anchor the moss by pushing the wire through the wreath. No need to twist the wire in the back.
- Cut your succulents and florals apart leaving about a two-inch stem on each of them. This will ensure they stay put when you insert them into the grapevine.
- Use a large succulent as your ‘main event’ piece on the wreath, then add another smaller piece next to it. Just push the wire stems into the grapevine wreath.
- Add one medium-sized succulent to give it some interest and color.
- Your white peonies are added to the ends of the succulent arrangements (6a and 6b). (Remember to use some buds, for added color and texture).
- In the center of the arrangement, tuck another smaller succulent and another bud or two from the flower stems under the larger succulents so they peek-out and surprise you!
- As the final touch, add a couple of long succulent stems at the top of the arrangement, and another smaller stem near the bottom of the arrangement.
- Stand back and say, “I did it!”
DIY 10-Minute Spring Grapevine Succulent Wreath
And now you can hang your early spring succulent wreath and enjoy!
Viewing mine each time I walk into my living area makes me feel all happy inside!
The black lanterns add a bit of what the decor world calls ‘grounding’ to this light and airy space.
The mini white peonies add a bit of juxtaposition (another frequently used word in decor) to the faux succulent wreath.
The last-minute succulent stems added just the smidge of “umph” that was needed.
(Trying to get photos on a rainy day can be challenging, but look dramatic, too!)
Where’s the Best Place to Hang a Faux Succulent Wreath?
You can hang an early spring wreath just about anywhere your heart desires!
- On a vintage window pane (wonder where that idea came from?)
- Over a mirror
- On a cupboard door (think a smaller grapevine)
- On your entry door
- Above your bed

This is a quick wreath and I believe has impact The deep green mixed with the lightness of Peony is something I would think to put together, and works. Like the texture of the wreath base too.
Stay safe!
Cindy
Thanks, Cindy! Glad you liked it! Hugs!
I normally don’t care for succulents, but I’m sold on this wreath. Thank you for sharing! I’m going to try to make one.
Kay… I have not been a ‘succulent type of gal’ either! I was just thinking about how much I hated that my mom liked to collect all the succulents and put them all over her garden. I thought they were so ugly. But, if we put our own twist on them… and maybe add some white peonies (everything is better with peonies, right?), it takes on a whole new look! Thanks for the kind words, and be sure to let me know when you make one! 😉
It’s a lovely wreath! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for dropping in, Deb.
Your wreath is gorgeous, Julie! I love that you made it with floral pins so that you can reuse the wreath base when you are ready to decorate for a different season.
Yes… If I’m gonna pay $12 for a grapevine wreath, I wanna make it work for more than one project. I know you are with me on that!
So excited to try this wreath idea, Julie! I love the combination of moss and succulents. All the different layers of green are so pretty next to your antique window. I’m definitely going to try the floral pins too – talk about game-changer! Thanks for making this so easy. Big hugs, CoCo
Thanks, CoCo! It’s fun that we can have different vibes in our homes and still appreciate them so much. (Your home has definite goals for mine!) Hugs back!
Your wreath turned out so pretty.
I especially like the piece you hung it on – it really makes a statement on the wall.

Years ago, I wasn’t a succulent fan but I must admit as they have grown in popularity, I have started to love them!! They are perfect in this wreath Julie! And reusing the grapevine wreath?? Girl, you are speaking to my repurposing heart! Thanks for sharing 🙂
I totally agree about the succulents, Cindy. I like them in a ‘surprise’ area of decor, and a little bit at a time. 😉
Gorgeous Julie! I love where you have it hanging. The burst of green against the white background just screams “spring!” Thanks for the inspiration!
Yes… I love where it is hanging too…however, I think I may be taking down my window pane… thinking things through! 😉
I really like all the shades of great in this pretty wreath!
