How to make a Pampas Grass Decor Wreath

I have been loving Pampas Grass decor for a while now. There is something about using the tall pampas grass stems in my home that immediately give off a lovely Fall feel.

I even wrote a post all about the best places online to buy pampas grass.  

For this project I was gifted a bucket of Pampas Grass from a local floral shop. However, you can find pink pampas grass, tall pampas grass or even find faux pampas grass for this project.

Start by cutting down the long Pampas Grass stems so there is about 3″ to 4″ of stem depending on how big your wreath form is.  I only needed about 3″ of stem to tuck into my small grapevine wreath form, but be sure to keep those leftover stems for later in the project.

Next, I started tucking the ends of a grass strand one at a time into the wreath form.  

I added just a little dab of hot glue as I went to provide extra holding power to each stem.

Pampas Grass Fan pattern

As you glue in each piece of dried grass, you will slowly continue around the wreath – creating a gorgeous fan like pattern.  

Stop adding the grasses a little bit before you get to the halfway point, as you can see in the image below.

The next step, really added a subtle drama to my pampas arrangement and quite possibly was my favorite part!

Pampas Grass Stems

Take all the Pampas Grass stems that you had originally cut and gather them together in descending order of length.

Slowly begin to hot glue each stem end together at a slight angle.  After each stem was secured, I would hold it up to my wreath form to make sure I was following a similar circular pattern as the wreath.

Once all of the stems were glued together, I added one final line of hot glue all along the glued ends and secured them as a unit to the backside of my wreath form.

Add hairspray to Pampas grass plumes

Next, it’s time to head outside and give the Pampas grasses a heavy duty coat of hairspray.  Adding hairspray will help to keep the grass’s plume intact and not blow apart every time someone walks past it!

If you are using faux pampas grass, you will not need to add hairspray and can skip this step.

The final product is this GORGEOUS modern dried grass arrangement!

I’ve never seen anything quite like this dried grass wreath and love having such a one of a kind piece in my bedroom to enjoy every day.

I decided to hang it just below the perfectly imperfect Behr Thermal paint line and I love the way it so nicely frames the space.

To hang, I simply used a little bit of floral wire to make a loop on the backside and hung it on a nail in the wall.

It perfectly pulls in the straw colors from my Spoonflower pillows and our existing window shutter colors.

I asked my husband what he saw when he looked at my Pampas Grass wreath and he said a woman with big hair.  I see almost an abstract eye… which is a little creepy but I love this wreath so so much, that I’m okay with it – ha!
