Are you ready to get into the mood for spring? If so, this simple spring mushroom wreath is the perfect home accent. It also goes along perfectly with our Mushroom Spore Art activity!
You can make your own wreath in just minutes, and it is much easier to create than you may think. You only need a few supplies to make one, all of which can be found at your local craft store.
Take a look below at how to make your own simple spring mushroom wreath. It is a cute way to get the look of spring for less!
Supplies needed:
- Grapevine Wreath
- Green Spray Paint (optional)
- Felt – red, white, brown
- Scissors
- Hot Glue
We were able to find colored grapevine wreaths at our local Hobby Lobby store. They were on sale for 40% off (you can also use the digital coupon) and score one for around $3. Felt is around .50 cents per piece, also available at Hobby Lobby or other craft stores. If you can’t find a colored grapevine wreath, just buy a plain one and spray paint it. So easy!
Directions:
1. If your wreath is not already green, or the shade of green that you desire, you will need to spray paint (or paint) your wreath to the desired color. Make sure your wreath is sturdy and in place to your liking. Hot glue any areas that need attention or appear loose.
2. Next you will need to cut a half-moon shape out of your red felt. This will be the top of your mushroom. Cut as many out as mushrooms that you want to have on your wreath. I kept my wreath super simple and went with two mushrooms.
3. Cut out several white circles. These will make the dot accents on your mushrooms.
4. Cut a simple stem out of the brown felt. A simple rectangle with rounded off edges works great.
5. You now want to assemble the pieces of felt. Glue the half moon (red piece) to the top of the brown stem. Add lastly glue your white dot accents onto your red felt.
6. Apply a dab of glue to the back of your mushrooms and press to the wreath. Hold in place until dry and secure.
Your easy mushroom wreath is now ready to be displayed for spring! It really brightens up any area – perfect for patios, your front door, or even your office! It’s a fun whimsical decoration sure to brighten any mood!

So cute! When I first saw the green wreath, I thought it was green beans, and I wondered how you attached them together!
