DECORATE ANY SPACE IN YOUR HOME WITH THIS SUPER CUTE WOODEN CRAFT STICK WREATH.
There’s so much you can make with craft sticks, which is why I always try to keep a few bundles and sizes on hand.
From door hangers to ornaments, craft sticks can be used to make some pretty unique crafts. This wreath is one of those that I was excited to try and I know you’ll love it too!
WHY I LOVE THIS PROJECT
If you’re new to crafting with popsicle sticks, this is the perfect craft to try. It doesn’t call for a lot of supplies nor takes many steps to complete.
I love this project because I’m able to use many things I already have in my craft stash. What I don’t have can easily and inexpensively be picked up from the Dollar Tree.
SUPPLIES NEEDED
- Wooden Craft Sticks, Jumbo (Dollar Store)
- Flat Wreath Form, 6” in diameter (Craft Store)
- Silk Flowers (Dollar Store)
- Ribbon – Dollar Store
- Acrylic Craft Paint – Dark Brown
- Glue Gun and Glue Sticks (Dollar Store)
- Paintbrush
- Paper Towels or Baby Wipes
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Pencil
TUTORIAL: HOW TO MAKE A CRAFT STICK WREATH
Follow the quick step-by-step tutorial below:
- Measure 14 jumbo wooden craft sticks in half and mark with a pencil. Cut the craft sticks in half with a pair of scissors. These jumbo craft sticks are 6” long, so you will end up with 28 halves that are 3” long.
- Dry fit 14 of the half craft sticks around the flat wreath form in a starburst style pattern with the flat end in the center. Dry fitting first will allow you to space everything evenly. Then attach the craft sticks with a glue gun and glue sticks.
- Dry fit the other 14 half craft sticks on the wreath form in a second layer, positioning them in between the craft sticks on the first layer. Attach the second layer of craft sticks with a glue gun and glue sticks.
- Mix dark brown acrylic craft paint with some water on a paper plate. Roughly and quickly paint the Craft Stick Wreath with the watered-down paint mixture, making sure to get into all the nooks and crannies. This will give the unfinished wooden craft sticks a stained effect without having to use messy stain**.
- Remove the heads and leaves from a bunch of silk flowers. Attach the flowers and leaves to the bottom right-hand section of the wreath with a glue gun and glue sticks.
- Tie a bow with ribbon, trim the ends with scissors, and then glue it to the top center of the completed Craft Stick Wreath.
** TIP: You can either leave the wreath dark brown or wipe off some of the excess paint with a wet paper towel or baby wipe before it dries completely. Acrylic craft paint in your favorite color would also be pretty.
Isn’t this wreath the cutest? You can also get creative by switching up the flowers and going for a lighter (or darker) brown color.

Aimee,
I love this craft stick wreath. How simple, but stunning, especially for farmhouse or country decor. The twine bow is so cute, and just a few flowers needed for a bright touvh. How smart. Thanks so much for sharing.
