A DIY FAUX Eucalyptus Wreath Idea

In this blog post, we will guide you through the step-by-step process of creating a gorgeous FAUX eucalyptus wreath that can adorn your front door, living room wall, or even be used as a stunning centerpiece for special occasions. 

Prefer to Use FRESH Eucalyptus? OK!

Before you start crafting your fresh eucalyptus wreath, it’s essential to select natural real eucalyptus branches and leaves to ensure your final product looks vibrant and lasts longer. Here are some tips for choosing fresh eucalyptus:

• Look for branches with sturdy stems and a leaf shape that is not wilted or discolored.
• Gently squeeze the stems to check for pliability. Fresh eucalyptus should be bendable without breaking easily. This is essential for wrapping around a foam or metal frame.
• Smell the leaves to ensure they have a strong, fresh scent.

If you purchase individual lengths of eucalyptus from a craft store or market, ask about their delivery schedule to ensure you get the best quality product. Alternatively, if you have access to a eucalyptus tree or know someone who does, consider foraging for branches and leaves yourself.

Wrap the first layer of the eucalytus garland around the wreath form. Tie it down with floral wire.

Continue wrapping a second time until the wreath is covered.

Next, tuck and tie your florals into the leaves. Start from the top and work your way around the wreath.

Optional Step – Add a Sweet Plaque to Your Wreath

Place the Chalky Couture stencil on top of a mini wood plaque. Next, take your paste and spread it over the stencil. Remove the stencil and let dry.
