May Window Wreaths
May Window Wreaths are here, with nine new designs created to celebrate everything we love about May. And as a bonus, all of the summer month wreaths were released today as well!
There is something about this time of year that feels especially inspiring. Spring is in full bloom, the days are longer, and everything feels lighter and more relaxed. These wreaths reflect that shift, with softer florals, more open designs, and a gentle transition into early summer.
May Window Wreaths
From garden-inspired florals to subtle nods to Mother’s Day, each wreath is simple, elegant, and easy to trace. Whether you create one or all nine, these designs are a beautiful way to bring the season into your home.
May Window Wreaths mark the fourth release in my year-long window-wreath series, a collection of monthly templates designed to bring handmade creativity into your home.
My wreath window art designs began as part of my A Handmade Christmas series. Hand-drawn wreaths traced onto glass. Simple materials. Slow making. Creative calm. The response was overwhelming in the best possible way. Thousands of downloads. Hundreds of thousands of views. Messages from so many of you sharing your windows, your families tracing together, and homes filled with handmade seasonal art.
From that moment, a new tradition was born. Monthly Window Wreath Art.
Following the Christmas release, January winter wreaths, and the early-spring transition in February, March, and April, May carries us even further into the season. It is that beautiful in-between moment where spring is still blooming, but summer is just beginning to peek through.
The Inspiration Behind the May Wreaths
May is one of my favorite months for creativity.
Everything feels alive. Flowers are blooming everywhere. The days are longer. The light feels softer and warmer. And we begin to spend more time outside, entertaining, gathering, and enjoying the season.
These May wreaths are inspired by all of that:
- blooming flowers
- early summer greenery
- Mother’s Day softness
- Memorial Day hints of celebration
- and the simple joy of being outdoors
Where April felt full and vibrant, May feels a bit lighter. Airier. More relaxed.
These designs reflect that shift.
You will see more open florals, longer stems, softer movement, and a sense of flow that feels like the season itself.
What’s Included in the May Window Wreath Collection
Just like April, I have designed nine new wreath templates for May.
Each one is unique, but they are all designed to coordinate with one another so you can mix and match them throughout your home.
Here is a look at the themes:
- Garden Bloom Wreath – soft florals and flowing greenery
- Mother’s Day Floral Wreath – elegant and slightly more refined
- Wildflower Wreath – loose, organic, and natural
- Butterfly Garden Wreath – light and whimsical
- Outdoor Living Wreath – inspired by time spent outside
- Herb Garden Wreath – subtle botanical elements
- Spring Fruit Inspired Wreath – very soft and understated seasonal hints
- Spring Meadow Wreath – airy and balanced
- Mixed Floral Wreath – a blend of all the elements
Although sizes are listed for each wreath, there is still flexibility, just as before. You can trim margins, resize, or flip designs to fit your windows perfectly.

Why Window Wreath Art Works
Window wreath art is one of my favorite ways to decorate for the seasons.
It brings the beauty of the outdoors into your home without adding clutter or requiring storage. It is simple, temporary, and completely transforms a space.
And this time of year, it feels especially magical.
The light is different in May. Brighter. Warmer. It lingers longer in the evenings. And when the sunlight hits the traced lines on your windows, the designs almost glow.
They become part of your home in a very natural way.
How to Trace the Wreaths to Your Windows
1. Download the templates
Click this link above to download the nine May Window Wreaths. You will also have an option to subscribe to my monthly window wreath designs.
2. Decide which wreath belongs in which room
I like choosing one main design for the kitchen window and then coordinating styles for the family room, dining room, entryway, etc.
3. Print the Wreath
Once downloaded, print the wreath in Adobe. It will print on multiple pages at the listed size.
If you want a different-sized wreath than what is listed, you can use BlockPoster.com. It’s free and prints your design across multiple pages.
4. Trim the borders
Tape the wreath together.
5. Tape the template to the outside of the window
Use painter’s tape or clear tape. Position the wreath exactly where you want it.
6. Trace from the inside
This is important!
If you trace on the outside of the window, it will wash away when it rains.
Tracing from the inside protects it, even on stormy days.
What You Need to Trace the Wreaths
You don’t need much, and you probably have most of it:
- Acrylic paint markers (my favorite brand is linked here – white looks amazing in winter)
- Painter’s tape
- Paper towels (for any “oops” moments)
- A steady hand – though trust me, perfection doesn’t matter at all!
The paint markers wash off with a cloth and water. You can also use a paint scraper.
Tips for the Best Results
Here are a few of my favorite tips:
- Use different line weights for more dimension
- Keep your lines loose and natural
- Do not overthink placement
- Step back often and look at the whole design
- Make it fun and relaxing
This is one of those projects where the process matters just as much as the result.
How Long Will the Wreaths Last?
As long as you trace them on the inside of the window, they will last through:
- rain
- humidity
- temperature changes
- everyday life
They only come off when you decide to remove them with water or glass cleaner.
What’s Coming Next
This is just part of the journey.
Each month, I will continue sharing:
- new wreath designs
- seasonal inspiration
- simple creative projects
And now, with the early release of the summer collections, you can see what is ahead.
You can find the June wreaths here, the July wreaths here, and the August wreaths here.

Window Cleaning Tip
Here is a very easy way to clean your windows.
Spray the old window wreath with Goo Gone, then gently scrub it with the scrub side of a sponge. You won’t believe how little effort it takes to clean off the design. Next, clean the window twice with Windex and wipe it with a paper towel. Using glass cleaner will make sure there isn’t any Goo Gone on your window.
That’s all you need to do!
How People Are Using Their Window Wreaths
One of my favorite parts of this project has been seeing how you use them in your homes.
Kitchen windows. Front doors. Bathroom mirrors. Office windows. Craft rooms. Studio spaces.
Or in my case, on the doors to our wine cellar.
Some families trace together, and some use them as a time for creative quiet. Some treat them like seasonal rituals, and many of us mome make it a monthly tradition.
It’s become more than decor. It’s become a creative habit.
