Neutrals are all the rage right now, especially as summer is beginning to wind down. No need for the bright pops of colors, when neutrals can be just as beautiful. This DIY Boho wreath using creams, whites, and soft beiges is the perfect look to keep your decor classy, trendy, and pretty all year round.
This DIY Boho Wreath gives your home, or any space, the cottage core look that you see all over these days. So if this look is something you desire, which we all know it is, then stick around. I will teach you step by step how to get this look in less than an hour.
Wreath in Creams and Greens
Getting into the BOHO and Cottagecore style is not hard to do when it involves beautiful decor like this. I am in love with this wreath. It is the perfect piece to last for those in between months as the summer is winding down, but not quite yet fall. You know the time of year when you still love the hot sun but are almost ready to see it be gone. When you are looking forward to colors that only fall can bring, but can wait just a bit longer. This wreath is perfect for that time of year.
This wreath is great because it has a natural BOHO and Cottagecore vibe that will allow you to transition from summer to fall with ease. Creating this wreath in creams and greens makes it a piece that manages to draw attention with its simplistic and natural beauty. The large cluster of gypso flowers is just so dreamy. The twigs that allow for movement and flow are another favorite of mine. The different textures of greenery are to die for.
Using a grapevine is the easiest way to create beautiful wreaths to place on your front door for any time of year. Its natural little openings allow for easy insertion of twigs, stems, and sprays to be added in the angles you desire. Play with placement, textures, sizes, and florals and allow for your creative juices to flow. Creating shape for your base has never been easier.
Most wreaths I create have a large bow, or 2 or 3 on them. But, if I am being honest, I am quite pleased with how this design turned out without a bow. It is so cute. What do you think? Can you get on board with a wreath without a bow? I think you can when it looks as gorgeous as this does. Are you ready to get started on making one of your own? Let’s start having some fun with flowers!

Ingredients
Directions
- Grab your 18” grapevine and prop it up so it is easy to see as you craft.
- Using the Cream Feather Reed Grass Stem and begin breaking them down from the main bundle.
- Begin trimming stems if needed to work into your grapevine with hot glue on the ends. Use spanish moss to hide any glue that might be showing.
- We will add this more like greenery with this wreath, instead of as a filler flower. It will build up our base so it is nice and full.
- Pay attention to the angles as you add your stems in your grapevine to help define your shape.
- Next let’s work in your Mixed Green Spray. I love the eucalyptus paired with all the extra details. Trim from your main bush. Manipulate your stems to be full and fancy.
- Work your hot glued stems into the grapevine, maintaining the shape as you add. They will be used to separate the pretty spray we added at the beginning.
- Grab your Gypso Bush and push all of those florals up to the tops of your stem. Trim from the main bundle.
- Dip ends in hot glue and work them into your wreath as clusters creating a chunky look since this wreath will not have a bow. Filling in, as you add, closing up that open space inside your greenery and sprays.
- To add some more beauty with neutrals, let’s work in our Daphne Odora Bush tucked in behind your clusters. This adds a different texture, while keeping the same color palette.
- Let’s finish this up with some twig additions. Grab your Blossom Spray Cream and break it up into some sections to add some flow and movement. Be sure you keep some length on your twigs and bend forward a bit where needed. Make sure your twigs stay even on the top and bottom of your cluster in the center.
- Step back and look at your work. Fill in any gaps, adjust any stems, and hide any mechanics if needed with your spanish moss.
What temperature is best for your hot glue pot?
I like to make sure my hot glue pot is always nice and full of glue so I am never looking for more as I am busy, lost in my own little crafting world. The temperature I like to keep mine at is around 250-350 degrees. It all depends on the type of glue you have, as well.
You want your consistency to be like thick honey. This helps your glue not being too drippy as you add to your stems and then work your picks, sprays, and stems into your grapevine.
What about a bow? Can I add one instead of all those flowers?
I know some of y’all just can’t feel complete if there is not a bow on your wreath. And this might be a little too far out of your comfort zone. So, if that is the case, you can easily add a bow in place of some of your gypso flowers added in that big cluster.
Remember to select neutral colors to tie in with your flowers. Trying to incorporate different textures would be great too. Think burlap y’all. But if I’m being honest, I love how great this wreath turned out. I am Team No Bow today.

Ingredients
Directions
- Start by finding cutting the styrofoam so it is nestled inside of the Green Frankenstein Bucket so that it sits nicely inside and glue down. I like to use both Gorilla Glue and Hot Glue to really secure it for both now and long term.
- Cut Black Garland Base into small sections and set your base, spreading for maximum coverage.
- Prep your picks by grabbing your Purple Green Orange Felt Ball Twig Sprays. Sseparating them into smaller picks. You can also twist the black chenille around your finger to create a fun effect.
- Trim your Glitter Eye Ball Picks and add to the stryofoam. Be sure to space them for the best visual display.
- Cut and prep the White Black Chenille Curly Stems add some dimension to them by curling with your fingers to really give them life.
- Stem back and look at your your centerpiece. Are thier bald or blank spaces? Fluff you black garland to fill and use the wires in your products from Keleas.com to really get the pieces where you want them.
- Grab one of your Glitter Curly Velvet Ball Picks and trim the stem down to a couple of inches. Fluff out your pick, and then place it to the left of your bow, tucking it behind the bow to have it peek out from behind it.
