How To Make A Poinsettia Christmas Wreath Using Floral Picks
I used to make wreaths every season, long before I ever became a blogger. Many years ago I took a silk floral design class and made lots and lots arrangements for family members as well as my own home. I became the designated person to create cemetery arrangements in our family. You know those can be so expensive. As a matter of fact, store bought wreaths and flower arrangements can be very expensive which is why learning to make your own is a good frugal living trick. I’m happy to share my Poinsettia Christmas Wreath Tutorial with you so you can make your own.
Supplies
There are only a few supplies needed to make our Poinsettia Christmas Wreath.
- 5 Poinsettia picks
- 5 Gold and Red Ball picks
- Ribbon for hanging
- 12 inch Wreath Form
- Spray paint
- Hot Glue Stick
- Hot Glue Gun
Begin by spray painting the wreath form and allow to completely dry.
Glue the Ribbon for hanging onto the wreath before adding the picks. Make this the top of your wreath which will help to determine placement of the picks.
Measure and cut the stems to fit your wreath form so they don’t poke out after being inserted into the wreath form. This is really a trial and error process with the first pick.
Before you begin adding your picks, place them around the wreath form to get a general idea of how you want them to look. I did this step in the store which helped me determine how many picks to purchase.
Begin adding the picks but do not hot glue them at this time.
I placed paper on my work surface to catch all the glitter falling from the picks. That made clean up easier. Bling can be a little messy you know!
Continue adding picks all the way around the wreath. I added the hot glue after I was satisfied with the placement of the picks. Just one small dab of glue is sufficient where each pick is inserted into the form.
Don’t be afraid to bend and shape floral picks. As long as you have a hot glue gun, you can fix anything that breaks.
You can easily have the wreath completed in under 30 minutes if you paint your wreath form the day before so it will be dry.
I found these gorgeous blingy poinsettia picks at one of my favorite craft stores, Hobby Lobby. The total cost of supplies used was about $25.
With proper care, you can continue to display your beautiful seasonal wreaths year after year. Do not store them in an outdoor building like storage sheds where they will be susceptible to rodents or wasps. I store mine by hanging them out of the way high on a closet wall. Then I cover it with a large plastic bag to protect it from dust.

What a beautiful wreath. My mother would love this.
Wow!! These are such a great idea!! I am definitely going to have to try and make some of these, they are so beautiful!!
Love all these wonderful craft ideas
That is so festive looking. Just in time to make one.
The wreath is outstanding! I love it! It looks classic and elegant!
I like this wreath idea. I would make it for a friend because im not a big poinsettia fan
This is a great idea.
Pointsettias are just lovely. This wreath idea is refreshing instead of strictly greenery. I’ve also seen people use pool noodles if they don’t have a wreath form!
Beautiful. Thanks.
What a gorgeous wreath. I can only imagine how expensive this would be if you bought it in a store.
Wow!! Love it!! It is so beautiful and rich!!
Using the middle ring makes wreath-making look easy. I had no idea!
My husband buys me a Poinettia every year. I love the idea of a wreath.
This is absolutely stunning! 🙂 Would love to be able to do something like this for myself! 🙂
My parent’s new kitten (well, she’s a cat now!) destroyed their wreath last year. I was planning on making her one and this is by the far the prettiest tutorial I’ve seen! It’s absolutely stunning and looks totally do-able! Can’t wait to hit up the craft store! 🙂
You did a fantastic job! It turned out really pretty! 🙂
thanks for the opportunity
Nothing screams Christmas more so than poinsettias! I love this wreath!

So pretty and shiny!
Your wreath is so pretty.It looks like it cost a lot of money.
You have made it so easy looking. I would love to make one for my front door.
This is a lovely and beautiful idea! So simple but looks so high-class!
This is absolutely gorgeous! So rich looking.
That is very beautiful and I love the colors.
Wow! That came out beautiful, and so simple! Thank you!
This is very beautiful! I made a poinsettia wreath on a frame of leftover pine garland, added some musical instrument picks and a pretty bow, and it was also pretty.
Lovely! I’ve never tried making my own wreath, but you sure make it seem simple!

So beautiful! My aunt makes wreaths I will have to show her this, she usually uses ribbons.
seeing as I cant have real poinsettias because I have pets this is a great craft
Very Beautiful!! I would love to make one!
Stunning, I love it!
Love this wreath. My front door is metal with a glass storm door so I cannot use anythig with hot glue. Just ask my Santa, his nose fell about two inches one year. LOL I like this wreath because I think I may be able to do it without using hot glue. Thanks for the idea.
What a clever and fun way to make this for my door
Such a Beautiful Christmas wreath!
Maria
Wow this is absolutely stunning!
That turned out just gorgeous! I have literally a huge bag of random Christmas flowers that I keep picking up year after year at after Christmas clearance sales…maybe I could do something like this with them!
Love this, Shirley! I am in need of a new wreath for the front door. I’ll have to get busy as soon as the Thanksgiving holiday is over.
It is so sparkling – just loving it!
This is really beautiful! I’ll probably try it.
WOW that came out great I will have to try to make one.
I love it! Poinsettias are my birthday flower!
the wreath is so cute!
so cute and totally blingy! I love poinsettias.
I can never figure out what to do with all those picks at Hobby Lobby! This is perfect! I love how it turned out… now to get some picks!
This is the prettiest poinsettia wreath ever! And not too hard, too. I haven’t made a wreath in a long time, I’d love to try this! So special!
Your wreath is very pretty, I love the colors. You inspired me to make one of my own!
