DIY Faux Magnolia Wreath
Want a little piece of Magnolia Farms in your home? Until we can finally take that road trip to the Silos, we’ll settle for this easy DIY faux magnolia leaf wreath that JoAnna would be proud of. And to tell you the truth, $98 is a lot of cash to drop on a wreath. Sorry, Joanna, we really do love you.
Who isn’t obsessed with Chip and Joanna Gaines these days?? I fully admit that I’m glued to the TV anytime “Fixer Upper” is on. I usually try to brainstorm ways to get my husband to move to Waco, Texas while watching. However, during a recent episode, I fell in love with a magnolia leaf wreath Joanna placed on the lucky family’s new front door. I needed to make one my own home!
Here is a list of the items I used to create my faux magnolia wreath:
- 16″ FloraCraft foam wreath
- 2 Magnolia leaf garlands (6 ft long)
- floral tape
- screwdriver (you could also use a larger nail or screw)
Use your floral tape to wrap your wreath. This will help your foam wreath blend into the background behind your magnolia leaves.
Take all the leaves off of your garland.
Use your screwdriver to poke a hole for your leaf stem. You may need to wiggle it around to make sure the hole will be big enough.
Push the stems into the hole. You could glue to make sure nothing is loose but I’d wait until the whole wreath is created. I found I wanted to move a few leaves around afterward to make it look more even in places.
Did you make a mistake? Yea, me either! But just in case you did, just cover the mistake with extra floral tape and wallah! No more mistake!!
You might find that some of the stems of the leaves have extra glue or are just wide and hard to place in the foam. Just cut off the end and it will make placing easier.
Keep adding leaves to your wreath until you get your desired look. It always helps me to take a step back and look at it to see where I need to add or move leaves.
And here is my final product! I’m all heart-eyes over here!! I guess I don’t need to move to Waco after all.

Hello ladies,
Loved your wreath!! It turned out simply beautiful and in my opinion that’s the best type of decor! Your post is featured on my blog this week for Thursday Favorite Things Link Party. The theme of this week’s features is outdoor decor ideas. There is really no particular way that I choose features. It’s more of seeing what types of posts seem to be trending for the week. I hope you stop by and check out the others and see some of my ideas for carrying your wreath through fall. Ha ha. Let me know what you think about them. 😀
Thank you again for sharing with Thursday Favorite Things.

You left a link for the magnolia garland off Amazon. Is this the same garland you used? On the amazon listing, the leaves look much smaller.
I actually got my garlands at a non-chain local craft store but thought the Amazon garland looked similar for those looking. Since posting, I’ve also seen pretty magnolia garlands at JoAnn’s and Hobby Lobby if the Amazon garlands aren’t what you want. 🙂
I’ve been wanting a magnolia wreath but just haven’t bought one because they are so pricey! I love this idea and will definitely give it a try!!! Thanks for sharing!
That’s exactly why I made my own! And it was easier than I thought. Please let us know how yours turns out. 🙂
What’s up,I read your new stuff named “Twitter” like every week.Your story-telling style is awesome, keep doing what you’re doing! And you can look our website about proxy server list.
I love this! I’m plan to try this. Thank you for sharing
What if I want to use real leaves ? What would be the method of making a Magnolia Wreath ? Also, can I use the real leaves from year to year ?
You can definitely use real leaves. I actually made one with real. They will die and turn brown which is still pretty but then it become really brittle and delicate. But yes you can and you can use the same method.
Wow!! I’m from Texas and now living in Georgia. I was blessed to have real magnolia trees outside our property here and my mother loves magnolia trees back at home in Texas..so when I saw your diy wreath I got so excited..I’m picking all the leaves from outside and I’m gonna make my momma a beautiful magnolia wreath straight from Georgia…thank you for sharing!!
Oh this is perfect!! Unlimited magnolia leaves!!
