Creating a rustic spring wreath can be a charming and cost-effective way to spruce up your home decor. By using dollar store pool noodles as a base, combined with burlap and a few other items, you can craft a boutique-style wreath that will have your neighbors asking where you bought it. This DIY project is perfect for those who enjoy adding personal touches to their home and love the satisfaction of making something beautiful from simple materials.
This pool noodle wreath, wrapped in burlap, lends itself well to farmhouse and rustic interior styles. Hang it on your front door for a welcoming touch or place it above a mantel to complement natural wood tones and greenery. Pair it with other rustic elements like wicker baskets, vintage lanterns, or mason jar vases to create a cohesive look.
Rustic Spring Wreath
Materials
1 teal pool noodle (approximately 5 feet long)
1 green pool noodle (approximately 5 feet long)
1 roll of tan burlap (approximately 10 yards)
Floral wire or hot glue gun
Decorative flowers or greenery (optional)
Directions
Cut each pool noodle to your desired wreath size, typically around 18 inches in diameter.
Join the ends of the pool noodles together to form a circle. Secure them with floral wire or a hot glue gun.
Cut strips of burlap, each about 4 inches wide, and begin wrapping the pool noodle base. Overlap the burlap slightly as you go to ensure full coverage.
Secure the burlap ends with floral wire or hot glue to prevent unraveling.
If desired, attach decorative flowers or greenery to one side of the wreath using floral wire or hot glue for added flair.
Hang your wreath using a loop of wire or a wreath hanger.
Variations & Tips
For a different look, consider using colored burlap or adding ribbon accents for a pop of color. You can also change the decorative flowers to match the season, such as using autumn leaves for fall or poinsettias for winter. If you prefer a more natural look, use jute twine instead of floral wire to secure the burlap. Experiment with different pool noodle colors to subtly change the hue that peeks through the burlap.
