Are you looking to add a touch of modern elegance to your home décor? A boho-inspired succulent wreath might be just the project you need! Incorporating faux succulents into your design, this easy DIY makes for a stunning addition to any room, blending both texture and color effortlessly. We stumbled upon a beautifully crafted boho-inspired metal wreath form wrapped in jute rope at Michaels, which provides the perfect rustic base for this project. Let’s walk through the process using this unique wire form, some charming faux succulent picks, and zip ties.
Materials You’ll Need
Before getting started, gather these essentials:
- Metal Wreath Form: You can find this boho style wreath at Michaels.
- Faux Succulent Picks: Opt for a variety of shapes and colors to create visual interest. These are also available at Michaels and many craft stores.
- Zip Ties: These will securely fasten your succulents to the wreath.
- Neutral Wired Ribbon (optional): Ideal for making a small hand-tied bow to add a finishing touch.

Step-by-Step Guide
1. Prepare Your Materials
Start by laying out all your faux succulents. Organize them into three different bunches or bouquets: one for the center and two for the sides. The center bunch will contain the largest succulents, creating a focal point, while the side bunches will use smaller, filler succulents to complement the design.
2. Assemble the Centerpiece
Begin with the central bouquet. Arrange your largest succulents in a visually appealing mix. Once you’re satisfied with the arrangement, use zip ties to secure the succulents together tightly.
3. Create the Side Bouquets
Next, make two smaller side bouquets. These should compliment the design of the central arrangement using smaller succulents. Once you have the look you are going for, again fasten them with zip ties.
4. Attach the Bouquets to the Wreath Form
Using the wire wreath form as your base, position the central bouquet at the 6:00 position. Affix it securely using zip ties, ensuring it’s snug and stable.
After securing the center, nestle the side bouquets onto the wire form—position them slightly upwards and to the sides of the center, creating a harmonious and flowing design. Use additional zip ties to ensure these are firmly in place.
5. Optional: Add a Ribbon
If you want to personalize your wreath further, create a small hand-tied bow using a neutral wired ribbon. This can add a soft, complementary touch to your design. Attach it using a zip tie or glue, wherever you feel it best balances your overall wreath.
6. Final Adjustments
Once all elements are secure, hang your wreath to view it from a distance. Make any necessary tweaks to ensure the design looks balanced and appealing. Fluff the succulents and ribbon to enhance the three-dimensional quality of your creation.
