11 DIY Beaded Wreath Ideas for Summer

It’s getting warmer and you know what that means… it’s summertime! Like any good hobby-loving mom, I come to appreciate two big hobbies during the summer: interior design and DIY. They tend to cross over a lot! Today’s appreciation is for a decor I love and one you will too, so check out some of my favorite DIY beaded wreath ideas for summer!

Now, I love beaded wreaths of all shapes and sizes but I’ve found that I’m not quite creative enough (yet) to do my own beaded wreath without any guidance. Luckily, a beaded wreath is nothing new so there’s a bunch of crafty gals that we can learn from – and I mean literally learn from. Thanks to bloggers, we can get a step by step tutorial for things like these!

The Cutest DIY Beaded Wreath Ideas for Summer

Let’s break it down, for any of these DIYs you’re going to need some type of wreath base and split or whole wooden beads. Otherwise, you’re pretty free to pick whatever you want or whatever best suits your style. You can use ribbons, faux flowers, faux greenery, signs, etc. Get creative!

You may have a few issues with finding wood beads to use, but Amazon is a pretty good go-to supplier. If Amazon is sold out – yes, it happens – you can check on Etsy! They tend to be a little more expensive, but they’re just as reliable.

White flowers with greenery are the perfect way to brighten up a door or one of your spaces this summer.

I’ll tell you right now, the burlap flower is what earned this Farmhouse Wooden Bead DIY Wreath from Wilshire Collections spot on the list.
