With summer weather in full force, it only seemed fitting to use some of the fun tools that are sitting around in all of our yards and transform them into something fun!
My mama put this bright green garden hose into a wreath in the blink of the eye. As soon as I saw it, I knew it had to be shared with you all.
What supplies are need to make a Hose Wreath?
This easy DIY project takes about thirty minutes from start to completion and can accent an endless combination of summer items.
- 15′ Garden Hose
- Orange Accent Ribbon
- 2 Pairs of Garden Gloves
- 1 yard tool (shovel)
- Orange Floral flowers
- Fake Bird
- Twisty ties
How to turn a hose into a wreath
Start by looping your garden hose into a nice coiled circle on the floor. We left the hose more or less at the size it came when we purchased it.
Add garden gloves
Next, arrange the yard garden gloves so you can see both sets and the fingers are just a bit fanned out. Then secure them to the hose using a twisty tie. This also will help hold the hose to correct size.
Add decorative items
Cut a section of ribbon off and tie it around the gloves and hose. This also helps to hide the twist tie.
Next, we tuck in a faux bird and a few sprigs of orange flowers at the top of our wreath.
Hang a wreath on your front door
To hang this wreath, be sure to use something very sturdy as a garden hose does weigh more than your average wreath.
We used this heavy duty over the door wreath hanger.
Do you have any extra yard tools sitting around that might be fun to transform into a wreath?
