What You’ll Need:
- 10'' wooden bead wreath
- Artificial assorted flowers (I’m using pink and yellow for a cheerful pop)
- Floral cutters & scissors
- Stretch cord (clear or white) or floral wire
- Hot glue gun or strong adhesive of your choice
- Wood circle
- Stamp design + assorted stamp ink pads

Step 1: Make Your Stamped Centerpiece
Start by taking your wooden circle and grabbing your stamp set. I chose a fun design: a cup that reads “hello there” with flowers blooming from it. Using different-colored ink pads, stamp your design onto the wooden circle. Let it dry fully, then set it aside.
Step 2: Prep Your Flowers-Arrange and Attach
Use floral cutters to trim your artificial flowers to size. I chose to style my wreath with blooms on just one side for a modern asymmetrical look, but you can go all the way around if that’s more your vibe. Cut lengths of stretch cord or floral wire (stretch cord gave mine a soft, flexible hold). Wrap and tie the cord around each mini bundle of flowers as you attach them to your wreath base. Snip off any excess cord for a tidy finish.
Step 3 (Optional): Add the Wood Circle Accent
Flip your stamped wood circle over, add hot glue or another heavy-duty adhesive to the back, and press it firmly onto the beads—mine sits nicely at the bottom of the wreath. Feel free to reinforce it with extra glue for a long-lasting hold.
Step 4: Make It Hangable
Cut a small loop of stretch cord and tie it to the top of the wreath for easy hanging. You could also hang it with ribbon, twine, or display it on a hook. This wreath adds so much warmth and whimsy to any space—it’s like bottling up summer and putting it on your door. 🌸 I'd love to see how yours turns out!
