Is It Cheaper to Make a Wreath or Buy One?

Is it cheaper to make a wreath or buy one? It depends — but in many cases, DIY wins.

I found a wreath similar to mine on Etsy for $85, and even the average store-bought wreath typically runs around $45.

This DIY Easter wreath cost me just $13.97 total — $5 for the metal bunny sign, $5.39 for the grapevine wreath, and only $3.58 for flowers (I used greenery and florals from my stash).

Making your own also means you can fully customize the colors and size to fit your space perfectly.

That said, buying can make sense if you’re short on time or find a great sale.

But if you’re mindful of costs, reuse supplies, and shop dollar stores, DIY is often far more economical — especially for larger, boutique-style wreaths.

What Materials Do I Need for an Easter Wreath DIY?

You don’t need much to create this DIY Easter wreath — just a few simple supplies.

I used an oval grapevine wreath from Hobby Lobby (I grabbed mine at 40% off, which made it super budget-friendly).

For the focal point, I chose a vintage-style metal sign from Dollar Tree.

To fill it out, I added faux greenery left over from our DIY topiaries and a few spring florals for color.

I used what I had on hand and purchase 2 stems of the pretty pink florals from Hobby Lobby at 40% off.

You’ll also need floral wire or zip ties to secure the sign, a hot glue gun with glue sticks for attaching florals if desired , and wire cutters to trim stems.

If you’re looking to save even more, shop your home first!

Use spring florals you already have on hand or check out Dollar Tree or thrift stores for budget-friendly greenery and stems you can repurpose.

What’s the Best Base for a DIY Easter Wreath?

The best base for a DIY wreath really depends on your design, but for this project, a grapevine wreath works beautifully.

Grapevine bases are sturdy, natural-looking, and make it incredibly easy to attach heavier elements like a metal sign using floral wire.

A wire wreath frame is lightweight and great for mesh or greenery-heavy designs, but it doesn’t offer much structure for securing solid décor pieces.

Foam wreath forms are ideal for tightly packed florals and give a smooth, full look, but they can be harder to wire into and aren’t as forgiving outdoors.

For this Easter wreath, the oval grapevine shape makes it even more special — it looks like the bunny is carrying a large Easter egg on his back!

That subtle shape detail adds charm, dimension, and makes the design feel unique.

Attach Metal Sign to Grapevine Wreath

To attach the metal bunny sign to the grapevine wreath, start by cutting a 12-inch piece of floral wire and threading it through the loop that supports the leaner bar on the back of the sign.

Twist the wire tightly to secure it.

Next, position the bunny on top of the grapevine wreath exactly how you’d like it to sit.

Carefully flip both pieces over and wrap the wire around the grapevine base, twisting it snugly so the sign is firmly attached.

For extra stability, secure the leaner bar to the wreath form with another piece of floral wire.

I also found it helpful to tape the leaner bar to the back of the bunny sign with duct tape to keep the bunny flat against the wreath.

Add Greenery and Florals

To add greenery and florals, start with greenery to create a foundation.

I began with a few fern fronds and secured them directly to the grapevine wreath form using hot glue.

Then I added leafy stems to bring in some fullness, using a total of three greenery stems to build a base.

Next, layer in your florals for dimension.

I started with pink tea roses from Hobby Lobby — each stem has three bunches of three roses, so I cut them apart and spaced them evenly on the side grapevine.

The stems were long enough to simply tuck into the grapevine without glue.

Finally, I added a few forsythia stems (a yard sale find from years ago!) for a pop of color, height and movement.

To finish it off, I kept things simple and balanced with simple three-loop bow made from a scrap of wired linen ribbon.

Easy Ways to Hang a Wreath on Your Front Door

There are several easy ways to hang a wreath on your front door, depending on your door type and preference.

I personally keep a decorative Command hook on my door year-round for all of my seasonal wreaths.

I love that it doesn’t damage my door, and it’s strong enough to even hold my heavy evergreen wreath during the winter season.

An over-the-door wreath hanger is another simple, no-tool option if you like something removable.

You can also loop a ribbon over the top of the door for a softer, more decorative look.

And magnetic hooks are perfect for metal doors.

To keep painted doors looking nice, add felt pads to the back of your wreath or use a ribbon buffer to help prevent scratching and wear.

What Does a Wreath on the Front Door Mean?

A wreath on the front door is often seen as a symbol of welcome, inviting friends and family to feel comfortable before they even step inside.

Seasonal wreaths also celebrate the time of year, bringing a little bit of nature and holiday spirit to your entryway.

For Easter, wreaths can reflect themes of renewal, spring, and joy, which makes them especially meaningful as winter fades and flowers begin to bloom.

Seasonal door décor feels so inviting because it adds warmth, personality, and a cheerful first impression to your home, turning an ordinary doorway into a beautiful, welcoming statement.
