How do you welcome Spring? This year my welcome includes clothespins and craft tape!
Hey there! My name is Trish and I blog over at By Trish Sutton where I share simplicity for the home including simple crafts, easy recipes and must have reviews. I am excited to be here today sharing my love of spring with a simple Spring Wreath made out of Clothespins and Craft Tape.
While I know that there is still evidence of winter across the country, here in the desert southwest our highs have been in the 80s for more than two weeks. I happen to be one of the few who did not welcome the 80s with open arms. If I had my way cooler temps would have hung around a little longer, alas, I have given in to the sunshine and have embraced spring a little early.
With each season a new wreath finds it’s way onto the front door of our home. And since it appears spring is here to stay the time had come for me to update our entry. I did so with clothespins and craft tape.
Spring Wreath: Clothespins and Craft Tape
Supplies List
Craft Ring (10″-12″)
100 Wood Clothespins
2 Rolls of Craft Tape
Craft Paint
Jute or String
Wide Ribbon
Scissors and/or Xacto Knife
This fun Spring Wreath is as simple as it looks! First, paint one side of the craft ring so that it can dry while you prepare (near) 100 Clothespins.
While the ring is drying attach tape to the flat side of each clothespin, press it down firmly then cut the tape to size. If your tape ends up being wider than your clothespins use a pair of sharp scissors or an Xacto knife to trim the edges.
It is important to decide on the design that you would like to achieve before you add tape to all of your clothespins. When I began creating my Spring Wreath I thought that I wanted to use four different rolls of tape.
However, after trying a few different patterns I decided the design I liked best was two different rolls, placing them two by two around my craft ring. Be sure to attach the clothespins close together leaving no gap between them.
Once your craft ring has transformed into a Clothespin Wreath create a hanger by tying a piece of jute (or string) between two clothespins.
Finally, create a bow with your Wide Ribbon then attach it to the wreath. I secured my bow by threading the jute through the back of the bow. A few dots of hot glue would also do the trick. And there you have a Spring Wreath ready to welcome warmer weather & Easter visitors.
Head over here if you’d like to see another way I have used Craft Tape! I have a pretty big DIY project coming soon to By Trish Sutton that I think Houseologie fans will absolutely LOVE; subscribe to my newsletter to be one of the first to know when it is revealed.
When I’m not making messes you can find me on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Twitter.
I hope to see you soon!

Welcome Spring!
Hi Trish – I’m working on a feature article for the upcoming issue of our online Christian women’s magazine, Ruby for Women, and I would like to include this wreath in our craft feature article. I would like to use just one image, along with a link back here to your blog so our readers can find the tutorial. I will be sure to send you a link when the magazine is published! Thanks so much for posting this tutorial. Nina @ Ruby for Women

This wreath is Lovely!!! I may make one – painting the clothespins different colors, alternating them on the wreath. Thanks for the wonderful ideas – keep ’em coming!!!
I love that idea, Cindy! And I am certain that it will turn out absolutely lovely! Happy Spring. 🙂 ~Trish
Hello,I love the spring wreath. I’ve made a couple of clothespin wreaths but,was looking for some inspiration and I found it. I always use the green wire wreaths so can you tell me where I can find the one you used?
Hi Diane! I found my cardboard wreath at Hobby Lobby. 🙂 Cheers ~ Trish
Thank you.
Thank you! Love this idea. I made it for my laundry room wall and my husband added a clock face in the middle. Now I know what time it is and it’s a fun piece for the wall.
