I was strolling through Michaels and suddenly decided I needed all the items to make a DIY Daisy Wreath! I’m usually not a silk artificial flower kind of gal, but there was just something about those daisies.
I figured I could just slide the daisy stalks into a grapevine wreath to keep it simple and quick. I like simple and quick… like my DIY Distressed Gold Leaf Terracotta Pots, if something takes too long, I’ll lose interest. How hard could a daisy wreath be, right?
DIY Daisy Wreath
I like it, especially when it’s as simple as I predicted. Unlike my DIY Indian Corn Wreath I made for my Fall Porch… that ended up causing me a few headaches. I like throwing together a new wreath for my front porch and I knew a daisy wreath would look fantastic with my door!
So, there I was at Michaels looking at all the artificial flowers. Grabbing this, grabbing that… boy those buckets of flowers are pokey.
I find my daisies, the grapevine wreath and was excited to get home to make my DIY Daisy Wreath… but I was at Michaels, which requires a walk down every aisle just to make sure you don’t need anything else.
I’m happily pushing my cart and felt something on my finger… I casually look down and my whole hand and finger are covered in blood. The coupon I was carrying… that someone handed to me as I walked in, was covered in blood, but dang… I was still using it. (in hindsight, I’m sure I could have used my phone app coupons too! DOH!) Luckily, I am the safety mom with about 1000 bandaids in my purse. So I ducked into the restroom, washed up and applied a bandaid… and went back to shopping. I looked my daisies over to make sure I didn’t ruin them and they were fine! Whew!
While checking out, I told the girl I had cut my finger on the silk flowers and my coupon was a bit ruined… she looked horrified, thinking I was going to make her touch the coupon or sue them…. then quickly handed me the waste basket. She ended up giving me a better deal with some coupon code she had! YAY!
So be careful the next time you get excited in Michael’s.

How to Make a DIY Daisy Wreath
- Use your wire cutters to cut the daisies into individual flower stems.
- Slide the stems in at an angle into your grapevine wreath, following that angle and work your way around.
- Use extra stems to fill in any empty spots.
If I get sick of it, I can just pull all the daisies out and make a different wreath!
I was right! It looks better than fantastic against my red door! Now that mine is done, I found that my friend Ann from On Sutton Place has a fantastic Easy Daisy Wreath tutorial. We both basically used the same method, but I like her daisies better, they have more greenery.
