Pink Magnolia Tree Spring Wreath DIY
I started my spring crafting marathon this week, and today, I am sharing my first completed project – a Pink Magnolia Tree Spring Wreath.
I made this Pink Magnolia Tree Spring wreath as a budget-friendly alternative to the metal wreath from Terrain that inspired me. It’s made of paper instead of metal, and I cut all the petals myself, so there is no reason you can’t try to make this wreath, too!
Crafting Beauty: DIY Pink Magnolia Tree Spring Wreath
As spring blooms and nature awakens with vibrant hues, there’s no better time to infuse your home with the season’s spirit.
Inspired by the delicate beauty of the pink magnolia tree, I embarked on a creative journey to craft a stunning spring wreath that brings a touch of elegance and charm to any space.
Finding Inspiration in Nature
As I admired the ethereal beauty of the pink magnolia tree blossoms, I knew I wanted to capture their essence in a handmade wreath.
Drawing inspiration from a similar metal wreath I had seen, I created a paper option that would be easy to make, inexpensive, and equally enchanting.
Gathering Materials
To bring my vision to life, I gathered the following materials:
- Watercolor paper
- Arteza metallic acrylic paint in light pink and dark pink
- Wreath hoop (I used a 12″ metal floral hoop wreath)
- Floral wire
- Pink floral tape
- Hot glue gun

Crafting the Petals
With delicate brushstrokes, I painted both sides of four sheets of watercolor paper with light pink and dark pink metallic paint.
Using a pattern resembling the leaves on the pink magnolia tree flowers, I traced and cut out petals of two different sizes from the watercolor paper.
Each flower required six large and three small petals, and I made ten flowers for my wreath.
Once cut, I folded each petal half lengthwise to give it a natural curve, then gently bent the tip inward for a lifelike appearance.
Assembling the Flowers
To assemble the flowers, I used a hot glue gun to attach three small petals to the floral wire, forming the center of each bloom.
Then, layering petals in groups of three, I glued two more layers around the center to complete the flower.
To secure the petals and floral wire together seamlessly, I cut the floral wire to about 1″ long and covered the bottom of the flower and the wire with pink floral tape. This concealed the wire and added a finishing touch to each blossom.
Creating the Wreath
With all ten flowers crafted, it was time to assemble the wreath. I covered the entire metal floral hoop wreath with pink floral tape, creating a smooth surface for attaching the flowers.
Starting at one end of the hoop, I hot-glued a flower in place, then wrapped more floral tape over the flower. I continued around the hoop, evenly spacing and attaching all ten flowers until the wreath was fully adorned.
Admiring the Finished Wreath
The result?
A breathtaking Pink Magnolia Tree Spring Wreath that exudes the beauty of nature and the joy of spring.
With its soft pink hues and delicate petals, this wreath is the perfect addition to any home decor, bringing warmth and cheer to doorways, mantels, or walls.
Crafting this Pink Magnolia Tree Spring Wreath was a creative endeavor and a therapeutic escape into the beauty of nature. With just a few simple materials and a bit of imagination, you, too, can create your stunning wreath to brighten your home and celebrate the arrival of spring.
So why not unleash your creativity and add a touch of floral elegance to your space with this delightful DIY project? Your home—and your heart—will thank you for it.
