How to Make a Natural Magnolia Wreath

Living in the south I have come to enjoy magnolias trees for their gorgeous robust two-toned leaves and their fragrant flowers. A magnolia wreath is one of the best ways to enjoy their gorgeous leaves. If you have a magnolia tree in your compound or near your home, don’t buy a wreath at the store, make one instead. Many people think that magnolia wreaths are only ideal for the holiday season but the truth is that they can decorate your home all year around!

Use Fresh Magnolia Leaves for a Gorgeous Look

If you want to make a wreath that will really perk up your home, use fresh magnolia leaves. While you can use dried leaves, they are a bit delicate and tend to get torn quickly. The last thing you want is to make a wreath then it falls apart. Add summer flowers to your wreath for a seasonal effect.

Follow these instructions to make magnolia wreath like a pro.

Wreath Supplies:

Grapevine wreath form

Scissors

Hot glue gun

Natural or artificial magnolia leaves

Summer flowers

Ribbon

Magnolia Wreath Directions:

  1. Pluck the magnolia leaves from the stems.
  2. Use the hot glue gun to attach the leaves to the wreath form.
  3. When attaching the leaves to the wreath, ensure they create a lovely pattern. You can form a “V” with the initial two leaves and extend the pattern throughout.
  4. Fill the wreath form with the leaves and make sure they don’t have gaps between them.
  5. Affix the summer flowers to the wreath with the hot glue gun.
  6. Make a bow with the ribbon and glue it to the wreath
  7. Display your wreath outdoors or indoors.

Wreath Notes:

  • If your wreath gets dusty, use canned air to get rid of the dust, or wipe leaves with a slightly damp cloth.
  • When you take down the wreath, save the bow and wreath form for the next project.

Use Magnolia Leaves in Your Flower Arrangements

Buying professional bouquets is expensive. But flowers make a home come alive – especially in summer and spring. If you make your own flower arrangements, enhance them with magnolia leaves. Collect enough leaves for your wreath and you can use whatever is left on the flower arrangements.

Making a magnolia wreath might seem like hard work but it isn’t. Follow our instructions and you’ll find yourself making more than one wreath.

    Great wreath tutorial. I love magnolia leaves and use them quite a bit in my seasonal decorating. I was wondering if you treat the leaves in some way to keep them from turning brown?

    If you order a large bottle of Glycerin from Amazon, you can cover the leaves and let set for several days. This will preserve them and you can keep the wreath as long as you want!
