DIY Picture Frame Wreath

I got this darling picture frame wreath as a Mother’s Day gift from Becki a few years ago. I absolutely love how well it goes with my farmhouse décor. Since then, I have changed out the pictures a few times as my family has grown.

I have had so many compliments and questions on this wreath, that I decided the next time I updated the pictures, I would deconstruct the wreath and show you how to make one for your self.

What You’ll Need

2×3 picture frames and prints
grapevine wreath and burlap bow

Assembling Your Picture Frame Wreath

Prepare Frames

floral wire inserted in place of easil
floral wire attached to 2×3 frames

Step 1: Remove easel part on hinges from back of picture frames and discard. This will help the frame to lay flat on your wreath.

Cut floral wire in half. This should be long enough to go through hinge on back of frame and wrap securely around wreath allowing for a twist to hold together. Thread floral wire through hinge on back of frame.

Print Pictures

Step 2: Print pictures. In the past, I have done in sepia which looks great with the burlap bow. This time I had my pictures printed in Black & White. LOVE!! Have some printed horizontally and others vertically.

Use plain photo paper, wallet sized prints if you do them yourself at home. I get mine done with 1 hour photo development at Walgreens. Be sure to use coupons for 40% when you place your order online.

Trim prints and add to frames. Remember to do both horizontal and vertical pictures.

Attach Frames to Wreath

Step 3: Add frames to wreath by wrapping the open end of the wire around the grapevine wreath branches, secure tightly, and twist closed.

Step 4: Add burlap bow to wreath and hang.
