Easy Rustic Birch Twig Spring Wreath for Your Door

There’s something magical about the first signs of spring—buds on the trees, longer days, and the urge to get outside and refresh our homes. This easy DIY project brings a bit of spring to your home. It’s made with simple, organic materials.

While out for a walk after a few days of strong winds, I couldn’t help but pick up a ton of birch twigs. There’s a large birch tree in our neighborhood on the path to the beach—a walk after the heavy winds led to armloads of freshly fallen twigs from the ground.

Sure, I could buy them, but knowing this tree exists just around the corner makes it too tempting not to forage! No one minds. It’s not like I’m cutting limbs. I am simply picking them up off the ground.

The Supplies You’ll Need:

• birch twigs
• green moss
• some small spring bulbs like Muscari or daffodils
• mini quail eggs
• florist wire
• round cake pan

What to forage and what to buy:

1. Birch twigs can be found, or store-bought is excellent too.
2. Moss – I live in Connecticut, where moss grows everywhere, but store-bought moss works beautifully!
3. Small bulb plants are easy to find at the grocery store, Trader Joe’s, or the nursery. You only need a couple. You may even have them popping up in your yard.
4. Quail eggs (available here, or in this kit).

Here’s how you make an easy birch twig spring wreath

First, prepare your birch twigs

1. Prepare your birch twigs by submerging them in water for at least an hour to soften them so they don’t break when forming them into a circle.
2. Use a round cake pan to help form your wreath into a circle.
3. Take the branches and form them into the edge of the pan, adding more inside the pan until it’s as complete as you want.
4. Secure the wreath with florist wire in a couple of spots to keep the shape intact
5. Add a sheet of moss at the bottom and secure it again using the florist wire.
6. Nestle in a few quail eggs and bulbs (Use a little hot glue if necessary).
7. Add a piece of twine, rope, ribbon, or frayed canvas and hang it on your front door or side door. For indoor use, you could also use it as a table centerpiece, placing candles, fresh flowers, or other spring decorations in the center of the wreath.

After you see how easy it is to make this wreath, you’ll never want to buy another artificial wreath again.

Hang outdoors in the early spring

Make mini birch branch wreaths for jars

I made mini birch branch wreaths to top clear glass jars with a few hellebores from my spring pots. They add just the color we needed in this corner.
