Watch and learn as I show you how to easily create a beautiful Eucalyptus wreath for year round decor that you can make in under 15 minutes! All it takes is three different floral bushes and sprays and a beautiful jute bow that goes so well with the color palette we are using today.
Mauve Eucalyptus Wreath Tutorial
The mauve colored Eucalyptus is such a unique floral that you don’t see often and it makes a big impact. This Eucalyptus wreath is so welcoming and inviting on anyone’s front door at any time of year. Come have fun with flowers with me!
I am loving the color palette of this year round wreath I am making today. The mauve colored Eucalyptus is a favorite of mine. It is also a nice way to mix things up.
The Eucalyptus adds so much dimension and height. Use their wired base to adjust them so they feel like they are smiling at you instead of lying flat and drab. They pair so well with the sweet, mauve Daisy spray that we are throwing in there too. The soft and fluffy Daisy blossoms add so much texture to this wreath and compliment the color palette so nicely.
Note the pop of green we add in to mix up the mauve with a bright and beautiful, green Allium bush. We’ll keep this a little more tight and compact to the base. They do a wonderful job of adding a pop of brightness and added texture to this piece. You can stop there but we are going to finish it off by using two similar types of open burlap jute ribbon.
Mixing the two open weaves together adds a lot of interest to a simple and neutral colored bow. I like to add the bow to match the angle of the floral pieces, but you could also add it in the opposite way. Neutral bows go well with every season and compliment our color palette wonderfully.

Ingredients
Directions
- Use a 14” grapevine wreath base. Start with your mauve Eucalyptus bush and trim into separate pieces. Dip the ends of the Eucalyptus in hot glue and add into the top of the wreath. Cover the hot glue with Spanish moss.
- Grab your green Allium bush and cut the stems to separate. Cluster the green stems together and place them between the mauve Eucalyptus stems.
- Add another Eucalyptus on the bottom and one just to the left. Add a cluster of green stems in between.
- Work your way up the right side of the wreath base adding mauve Eucalyptus and inserting clusters of greenery in between.
- Take your mauve, sweet daisy spray and break it down into smaller pieces. Add a daisy stem on the top, and one on the bottom of the right side on your wreath base. Add a few more daisy stems towards the right center.
- Finish the center off by adding some green allium stems. Shorten the stems with wire cutters and hot glue into the center.
- Use your EZ Bow Maker and add the 2.5” expandable natural jute ribbon. Make a 16” tail and twist in the center. Make two 5.5” loops on each side. Trim the tails straight across.
- Add the 1.5” jute ribbon and make a 16” tail. Make three 5” loops on each side and make the last loop at 4” in the center. Trim the tails straight across. Run a cable tie along the center of the bow and pull off.
- Close the cable tie, not all the way, holding the bow together at the center. Fluff each loop and tails. Add a second cable tie through the back and cinch tight. Trim a length of the 1.5” ribbon and fold it over itself. Tie around the center to hide the cable ties and trim the excess.
- Attach the bow on the bottom left to match the angle of the florals at the top. Clip the excess cable tie. Roll the tails up with your fingers, adding a tiny dot of hot glue to hold.
How to pick florals to use in a year round wreath
When you are looking to make wreaths that will work well for year-round decor, a few things to think about are the color palette and the florals you choose. Use florals and greenery that make sense to see throughout the year and during different seasons.
If you are planning on adding a bow, chose a ribbon that will also complement the color palette and make sense no matter what the season. A piece of neutral jute or burlap is a great ribbon to choose for everyday wreaths.

Ingredients
Directions

- Cut Black Garland Base into small sections and set your base, spreading for maximum coverage.
- Prep your picks by grabbing your Purple Green Orange Felt Ball Twig Sprays. Sseparating them into smaller picks. You can also twist the black chenille around your finger to create a fun effect.
- Trim your Glitter Eye Ball Picks and add to the stryofoam. Be sure to space them for the best visual display.
- Cut and prep the White Black Chenille Curly Stems add some dimension to them by curling with your fingers to really give them life.
- Stem back and look at your your centerpiece. Are thier bald or blank spaces? Fluff you black garland to fill and use the wires in your products from Keleas.com to really get the pieces where you want them.
- Grab one of your Glitter Curly Velvet Ball Picks and trim the stem down to a couple of inches. Fluff out your pick, and then place it to the left of your bow, tucking it behind the bow to have it peek out from behind it.
