I’ve been wanting to do a Dahlia wreath ever since I first saw it. I thought it would be so fun to make and accent my home wonderfully, but I haven’t had the time. I even had a cardboard box sitting in my pantry for the past month or two just so I could make it. Then, I finally found the time!
I came across many tutorials on how to make one and then I came across this one that made it so easy to follow. Because her directions are so easy to understand, I’ve opted out of doing my own tutorial so that you can follow her instructions. Honestly, I couldn’t have put it better myself so if you’re interested in creating one of your own, check out Amanda’s tutorial over at Mommity.com.
Now, without further adieu, here’s how my wreath came out!
I used basic items to create mine from things around my home so this project was absolutely free to make! I used an old book, glue and a cardboard box to cut out the circle. The burlap ribbon I used to hang it is from a previous project.
I’m trying to figure out where to hang it. I originally made it for above my bed but may just end up putting it in my living room.
Thanks for stopping by to check out my project!

It is so beautiful! I just love wreaths and so will be pinning this great one on my "I Love Wreaths" board!
Thanks!
Sooooooo pretty. Pinning!
Thank you!
Lovely! Will have to give it a try
It was fun to make. I hope you enjoy it!
Wow, that's so pretty! I love it over the bed, I think it compliments the rooms colors perfectly. (Found you on Merry Monday and pinning.)
Thank you, Meredith!
I really like your bedding set. The wreath is really great too! Visiting from Two Uses Tuesday.
Thank you, Stephanie!
Without further ado (let's hope it's not goodbye!), I really like your wreath!
Oh my goodness Kate! That's absolutely gorgeous! I love it so much because I'm in the process of planning my own DIY vintage themed wedding and have been looking for various crafts to style the wedding. My late Nanna was a great dahlia enthusiast and how fitting it would be to make this in her honour. I can't wait to get started on it. Thanks so much for sharing at Thriving on Thursdays. I'm featuring this at tomorrow's party. Hope to see you again soon.

Thank you, Amy!
What a pretty and original wreath!
This is incredible and the best part is that it was made free!!!! Love to hear more on how it stands up to dust and humidity. Thank you for sharing on Merry Monday.
I hope it stands up. Summer is coming and I'll have to let you know! My sister said the same thing about the dust. I hope it isn't that bad! Thanks for stopping by, Rachel!
Great wreath! And I love the whole room! Thanks for linking up with me for Friday Favorites. I'm featuring you this week.
Thank you, Jerri!
I’m loving this! I’m always so impressed by your masterpieces. Pinned and tweeted. We appreciate you taking the time to party with us. I hope to see you on tonight at 7. Happy Monday! Lou Lou Girls
This is so pretty! I'm thinking of making one for my office/library. Using book pages, I think it would be perfect. Thanks for the inspiration.
Super pretty and looks great above the bed. I've been wanting to make a wreath for our master bedroom so you've given me an idea. Visiting from Meet Up Monday.
This looks amazing! I am definitely going to go and watch the tutorial on this! Curious how long it took you to do it. Happy to be visiting as your neighbor at the Linkup at Monday of Many Blessings.
I saw a small image for this post on a link party, I would have never guessed it to be paper. So clever!
Oh my goodness I just love this!! I seriously want to get off the computer and make one right now 🙂 Thank you so much for linking this up to the Bewitchin' Projects Block Party last week. You are one of my Featured Picks over at Recreated Designs tomorrow. Hugs, Lisa
I want to make one!!! Gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Merry Monday party. We look forward to seeing your tutorial projects and recipes at the new party beginning tonight.
Looks amazing! Pinning! I'm moving home soon and I'll make it to decorate the living room. (Found you at Wake Up Wednesday "Linky" Party)
Lovely. A great focal point to the room.
