This lamb's ear wreath with peonies is a quick, easy DIY that's ideal for summer. The sweet "welcome" cutout sign takes it up a notch and adds extra farmhouse charm.
I came up with this lamb's ear wreath after using lamb's ear stems with eucalyptus and lavender in these galvanized olive buckets on my summer mantel. I fell for the soft, fuzzy leaves in such a pretty shade of green.
My old burlap wreath on the front door was worn out and needed replacing, so I figured this one would be super cute! What do you think?
Supplies to Make a Lamb's Ear Wreath with Peonies
- 18 inch grapevine wreath form (I get mine at Hobby Lobby with the 40% off coupon)
- 9-10 peony blooms (I also pick these up at Hobby Lobby when the floral stems are 50% off)
- 10 lamb's ear stems (Hobby Lobby's stems are the best quality I've found for the price, but they've been sold out for over a month, so I ordered mine from Etsy. Search for lamb's ear stems on Etsy. You can also find them on Amazon.)
- Welcome cutout sign, optional (I bought mine from Feather and Birch, a favorite shop on Etsy.)
- glue gun
- floral cutters
How to Make a Lamb's Ear Wreath with Peonies
1. Gather your supplies and trim the stems to a more manageable length.
They need to fit into the wreath without poking out the back side.
2. Pre-arrange the Flowers
Arrange the peonies first, the way you'd like them, by pushing the trimmed stems into the grapevine wreath.
3. Tuck the lamb's ear stems in to fill the gaps.
4. Hot glue the stems in place once you're happy with the arrangement.
5. Attach the "welcome" sign with twine tied to the wreath.
You're done! Wasn't that easy, and so cute?
It was getting late in the day when I took these photos, so the lighting wasn't great. The afternoon sun was also blasting the front door, so I couldn't shoot it there the way I normally do. I opened the door and took pictures from inside so you could get the idea.
And I air conditioned the outdoors while I was at it. My dad always taught us never to leave an outside door open, since we didn't want to pay to heat or cool the outdoors. Old habits die hard, Dad. I could barely keep the door open long enough to snap a couple of pics. Ha! #quirkyconfessions #yallthinkImweird #frugal
