Dried Hydrangea Wreath

Early Fall marks a transition from the lazy, hazy days of summer to apple picking and the change of colors here in New England. I thought it would be fun to share how to make a dried hydrangea wreath in celebration of Fall.

 

Dried Hydrangea Wreath with Apples - Finding Silver Pennies

You may remember how glorious our hydrangeas were looking in the summer.

Blooming Hydrangeas

I loved these hydrangea photos so much, I added them to my Society6 shop (affiliate link).

Well, now they’re turning beautiful antiqued blues and pale pinks with lovely shades of green. When they get to the color I like I clip them and dry them in our basement. I shared how to dry hydrangeas in this post here.

Dried Hydrangeas

I dried the hydrangeas for about 2 weeks prior to creating the wreath.

This wreath is super easy and you probably have everything you need to make it. All you need is a wreath form or woven wreath, some dried hydrangeas and some hot glue. You could even do it on embroidery hoops for a more modern look. I found this woven wreath at a Scituate florist years ago and I love decorating with it. Some years I’ve pushed faux succulents in, while others I’ve left it completely plain.

I’m excited to be sharing this wreath in the Seasonal Simplicity Tour hosted by my friend Krista. This is the second week and it’s all about wreaths. Last week, I shared four watercolor fall printables, click here if you missed it.

Materials for Making a Dried Hydrangea Wreath

Method

Place your wreath, the way it will hang. I started on the left side in the middle with a large hydrangea. I clipped the long stem off and placed glue onto the hydrangea and held it in place until it was set.

Then I clipped some other color hydrangeas only taking parts of the the full bloom. I wanted this to be a simple and classic wreath. By only taking parts, rather than the full bloom, I could control the look and make it feel lighter.

It only took a few minutes to glue the pretty hydrangeas to the wreath.

 

How to Make a Dried Hydrangea WreathOriginally, I planned on including real apples, too, BUT I felt like the apples made this specific wreath look too heavy. I did place some inside while it was hanging for photos.

We love going apple picking with our boys so love the rich color they bring to the wreath and also the vignette on the chippy milk paint cabinet.

Alas, the apples fell so I took the rest of the photos without.

On the cabinet you might also recongize this little DIY drill bit holder I shared back in June. The tutorial is from Jamie’s French Vintage Decor Book.

This is in our sunroom which is very coastal room. The muted colors of our dried hydrangeas work well with the blue ceiling and chippy oars.

The oars were a freecycle find which I painted with Chalk Paint. This cabinet was a yard sale find that I painted with milk paint.

Do you think you’ll give this little wreath a try? I hope so!

I would recommend this for indoor only as I don’t think they petals will hold up to winds or rain.
