Gather Materials

Materials to use:

• Lavender from my garden. You can also use faux stems or purchase dried lavender.
• Floral wire– I usually buy mine from Michaels, but Walmart and other retailers carry it as well.
• Wreath frame– I had to buy a new wreath frame this year. Michaels near me only had an 18″ option. Hobby Lobby and other stores carry these as well.
• Ribbon (not shown). This wreath is so pretty on it’s own, but I happened to have the perfect purple velvet ribbon that I had bought at when a sewing store was closing. I have held onto it for years!
• Also not shown is a spray to preserve dried flowers.

Form Small Bouquets with the Lavender

After starting by stringing the stems through the wreath form, I realized the stems were too brittle. The flowers broke while attemptng to form them.

A better approach is to wrap a bunch of the stems, say twelve or more, and create a little bouquet. These little bouquets cover more of the form and cause less breakage.

Trim Stems

While forming the bouqets, trim the excess ends.

With the scraggly ends trimmed, the little bunches will fit neatly to the wire form.

Attach the Dried Flowers to the Wreath Form

Place a bundle of lavender on the wreath form and secure using a piece of floral wire.

Repeat this step until the form is covered with the bundles.

For this wreath I visually divided the wreath in half and made the bouquets on each side point upward. So the stems faced down. You can also follow one direction. This is personal preference.

Optional- Add a Ribbon

The dried lavender really is stunning on it’s own, so adding a ribbon or bow is definitetly optional. I had this ribbon for years. I had purchased it when a fabric store closed down. I have held onto it for years, waiting for the perfect time to use it.

I didn’t think a bow was necessary, but did like the look of the ribbon wrapped on the wreath with long tails flowing.

Hang your Homemade Dried Lavender Wreath

The wreath hangs on our front door and fits the late summer-almost fall season perfectly.

A few years back we planted two rows of lavender to line a walking path in our front yard. The plants are finally big enough to yield long stems and big flowers. Now when we prune, we have a ton of flowers. I give some away and save some for ourselves

In the past I have made lavender oil and lavender sachets. Visiting a lavender farm is very inspiring to see what they create and sell onsite. They are also visually so beautiful and peaceful. There are quite a few in Washington where I live. I linked the particular one that I visited. Maybe one day I will visit the famous fields in Aix en Provence, France! Until then, I have my row in the front yard.

Thanks for reading! Let me know in comments if you grow lavender or have been to a lavender field.

Below I have links to fall items inspired by the dried lavender wreath. Hanging the wreath on our front door inspired me to incorporate purple in my fall decor. Do you pick a color scheme when decorating for fall?
