Eucalyptus Wreath

Create Your Own Eucalyptus Wreath with Our DIY Guide - Perfect for Home Decor. Step-by-Step Instructions for a Stunning Handmade Eucalyptus Wreath for Fall or any season!

MATERIALS

– Fresh eucalyptus stems – Floral wire – Wire cutters – Scissors – 14″ grapevine wreath

First, you’ll need to prep your eucalyptus.  Once you get all of your eucalyptus bunches home, separate out the branches and use scissors to cut the stems down into smaller pieces.  I cut my branches into small springs that were about 5-6″ long each.

Next, it’s time to start placing the eucalyptus springs into the wreath form. The idea is to have all the eucalyptus leaves and stems flowing in the same direction around the wreath. That creates the really nice, polished look that you want for the wreath.

Start by inserting a few bigger sprigs into the wreath in the direction you want the leaves to flow.  Try to push the stem far enough down into the grapevine until it seems secure.

Keep adding more springs into the wreath form. Don’t worry if gets a bit messy right now, that is all part of the process!

At this point, you should start being able to see the pattern coming together! 

Keep adding eucalyptus until the entire wreath is filled up and looks like it has an even density of leaves.

Once the wreath is finished, grab the back of the wreath form and hold up the wreath so that it hangs vertically. You’ll notice that wherever the leaves are going “uphill” in flow direction that the wreath may look a little droopy on that side. This can easily be fixed with some floral wire.

To finish the wreath, all you need to do is create a loop to hang the wreath with.  Use the wire cutters to cut a longer piece of floral wire and bend it to create a loop. Attach the wire loop to the back of the wreath form through the grapevines.

A fresh eucalyptus wreath will slowly dry, but the leaves should keep their shape and be a beautiful decoration in your home.
