    This adorable boxwood and bicycle spring wreath is super cute for decorating your front door this spring!

    Spring is right around the corner, which means it’s time for a new spring wreath on the front door! I love having a seasonal wreath gracing my door, because I’m sure it brings joy to my UPS man makes me smile when I drive up to the house. ๐Ÿ˜œ

    Last year’s spring wreath was one of my favorites ever (and is currently hanging on the open shelves in our kitchen), so I was a little uninspired to try to top it this year. I love that wreath and just want it to be my official spring wreath forever.

    But, I think I love this new one just as much! And since the old wreath was in the kitchen, my front door was bare. So, I was a little motivated to create a new one.

    So, my original idea for my new wreath included some kind of bike. I spotted this one online (here’s another one, too), but I didn’t have time to have it shipped in time to post this today, so I headed to the store to see if I could find it or something similar.

    And right when I was about to give up on my bicycle idea, I spotted this adorable fence and bike situation (no longer available) that was the PERFECT size for a wreath. The only problem was that it wasn’t colorful enough for me, but no biggie. Paint is my BFF.

    I just love the real wood handle bars. They are adorable!

    And I also thought it would look so adorable with a basket and flowers on the front of it. When I couldn’t find a mini basket in the store, I decided I’d just figure out something at home (having no idea how I’d pull it off).

    You’ll have to read through the instructions below to see how I made one! ๐Ÿ˜‰ My middle name should be “where there’s a will, there’s a way,” because I live by that idea.

    I’m so glad I was challenged to make this wreath because I stinkin’ love it! And it’s really easy to replicate, so if you like it too, you’re in luck!

    Supplies needed for a Boxwood & Bicycle Spring Wreath

    1. Boxwood Wreath – I chose a faux boxwood wreath, because I knew it was going outside and I didn’t want it to fall apart. But you could also use a real boxwood wreath.
    2. Fence & Bicycle (no longer available) – These went out of stock at Hobby Lobby, but I found some here and here.
    3. Paint of your choice – if you want to paint some of the bicycle. I used my favorite blue/green color: Wythe Blue by Benjamin Moore. (Handy from my recent board and batten project.)
    4. Small craft paint brush
    5. Small rope – for the basket on the bike
    6. Small faux floral stems
    7. Hot Glue Gun & glue sticks
    8. Floral Wire & Floral Wire Cutters
    9. Ribbon – I used this black and white ticking ribbon.

    How to Create a Boxwood & Bicycle Spring Wreath

    1. Paint your Bike. If you want to paint your bike, then do that first. I painted parts that would be black, like the bike frame, but not the wheels, the seat or the handles.

    I also slipped some paper between the parts of the bike I was painting and the fence behind it to keep the fence from getting paint on it.

    The paint color I used was (my fave) Wythe Blue by Benjamin Moore. But that’s because it’s my favorite blue/green color and it was handy from my recent board and batten project. Any craft paint you have on hand will do.

    2. Make your Basket. I couldn’t find a suitably-sized basket for the front of the bike, so I got the bright idea to make my own with thin rope and hot glue. I remember seeing people cover boxes with rope or make large rope baskets, so I knew it could be done on a smaller scale as well.

    Started with a small circle and hot glue each layer until you have a little bit of a base. Then I started gluing each layer up and up until it was the right size. I would hold it up to the bike to make sure I was making the right sized basket.

    3. Add Flowers to the Basket. I have tons of faux flowers on hand, so I grabbed some smaller scaled blooms and hot glued them inside the basket.

    4. Attach the basket to the bike with hot glue. 

    5. Use floral wire to attach the bike/fence to the wreath.

    6. Make a bow with ribbon or buy one and attach it to the wreath.

    You’re done! It only took me about an hour to make it all and I really love how it turned out!

    My husband said, “wow, that’s a heavy duty wreath” when he saw it. ๐Ÿ˜‚ OK, so maybe it’s a little extra, but I love it in all of its extra-ness!

        Hi Sandy! We’ve had a hard time finding a fence that fits this year also! The one on this wreath is about 20-22 inches long. Hope this helps!

      Such a cute wreath! I visited my 2nd Hobby Lobby and found the bicycle today! I am excited to start this project. However I can’t tell whether you painted the underneath of the fenders or left them black?? Hoping my wreath looks as good as yours!

      I love this and ordered all the supplies only to be disappointed when I was sent message that the bike was gone. I called several stores within a certain radius of my home and with only about 45 min. drive was able to find the last bike in the store. Thank you. I am excited to get it painted and completed soon.

        I’m so glad you found it! I know a lot of people ordered it, so I bet that’s why it was out of stock so quickly.

      I just loved this wreath, so unique and creative and whimsical! I went to Hobby Lobby today in my town to get the bike and they were gone. Boo! But I did find another freestanding bike in all black without the fence. I found a fence-like unfinished sign there in HL for $1.34!! And with a 40% off coupon made it about $15 for the bike decor for me to paint a put together. I haven’t assembled the wreathe yet but I am so inspired and I know with your tutorial mine will come out almost just as cute as yours!

      I am in love with this wreath!! Old bicycles and tricycles are among my favorite things and I love to use them in my decor. I have some metal wall hangings of bicycles inside and a real old bicycle from a yard sale outside that I spray painted turquoise and added a flower basket to the front of, as well as several old tricycles, one spray painted blue, one left completely rusty, and one red one with the original paint still in good shape. They are just so charming! I have a grapevine wreath base and some greenery and silk flowers I was planning to use to make a new wreath with, and may need to add a bicycle to the mix! Thanks for sharing!

        You can always add a bicycle to that wreath you were planning to make! It sounds darling already! I should have mentioned that when I was in college I traveled to Asia and brought back a small bike replica. It’s so fun and very detailed. It think it’s when my bicycle obsession started. โ˜บ๏ธ
