Many moons ago, during our first home remodel, I practically lived on eBay, finding all sorts of treasures and heavily discounted items for our home.


One click here, one click there and I stumbled upon some miniature terracotta flower pots at an I-got-to-buy-it-now awesome price! Of course the item I just had to have sat for a long while on a shelf until I could think of a project to use them for. Typical, isn’t it, of the stuff we think we just need to have?!

Finally, with idea in mind, I came up with a pot perfect way to welcome in Spring.

How to Make Stunning Spring Wreath with Mini Flower Pots

What better way to bring on the spring sun, warmer weather and the desire to plant some pretty flowers than with a miniature flower pot door wreath?

Grab Your Potting Supplies:
– miniature terra cotta flower pots
– outdoor craft paint + paint brush
– polyurethane
– floral wire
– wire wreath (I used an 18″ wreath form)
– ribbon or raffia

How to make a mini clay pot wreath

This is a rather simple project but it does take some time, simply because you must have the *patience* to paint these little flower pots. But the outcome is worth the effort!

Step No. 1 –
Grab your painting supplies and paint your flower pots in whatever color(s) you enjoy best.

Step No. 2 –
Once dry, apply a coat of polyurethane to the flower pots. This is an optional choice. I chose to do this to protect the pots from dirt and debris since I was hanging this wreath outside. It also gives the flower pots some shine.

Step No. 3 –
I cut strips of floral wire and inserted each strip through the drainage hole at the bottom of the flower pot. It should look like the flower pot is dangling off the floral wire, like a necklace pendant!

Then wrap and secure the floral wire around one of the rims of the wire wreath. I wrapped flower pots on both the upper and lower rims of the wreath form. Proceed in this manner until the wreath is covered, leaving a small space should you want to attach a bow.

Step No. 4 –
Once all the pots are secured onto the wreath form, wrap raffia (or ribbon) around the wreath form and attached flower pots to fully cover the wreath and any floral wire.

Step No. 5 – 
Attach a bow, if desired.
A friendly tip: I used some heavy wire to hang this wreath due to its weight.

How to update spring wreath for fall home decor

I love this wreath. It’s one of my favorite DIY projects.

An easy way to keep it up all spring, through the summer and into the fall is to add a simple miniature pumpkin wire garland and insert it in between the mini flower pots. Ta da! It’s an autumn wreath.

  4. What a precious idea! I love the bright colors, succulents, and that it is a unique spring wreath. I actually just saw some mini pots at the $ store last weekend and passed them up. I think I will have to go back and get me some. Found you at the Talk of the Town link party. Pinning!

  7. so cute! I like the raffia. I made on last year using 4″ & 2″ pots painted in primary colors, then filled in with moss and faux ivy for an auction…those little pots can get quite heavy!

    • I’m sure your wreath turned out just great! This wreath is heavy and it’s little pots so I can only imagine the weight on yours! Thanks for stopping by.

  38. I love how you suggest using this idea for different seasons. I was thinking how cute the terra cotta pots would be painted in Christmas colors with greenery! You are very creative, and I’m sure this project was time consuming and a lot of fun at the same time!

  46. I am trying to make this wreath and I am having the hardest time. Is the wreath form suppose concave to me or rounded part to me. The pots are just all clumping together at the bottom of the wreath. I thought painting and clear coating would have been the time consuming part. I have been trying to mount them for hours now and nothing is working. Please HELP,,,,

    • Hi Sharon – I’m sorry to hear you’re having a hard time. I used a wire wreath form (https://amzn.to/2IoYp1R) and attached the pots (with floral wire strung through) to the wire form. The pots will flop slightly but will stay put it tied tightly to the wire wreath form. Let me know if you need more help!

  47. I absolutely love this! I have a ton of terra cotta pots I bought at Dollar Tree for my daughter’s preschool party that we didn’t end up using. I was going to return them but now I’m going to make your fun wreath. Thanks for the idea!
