One of my favorite variations of a wreath is a Floral Wall Basket. It’s so whimsical and unique. Let your creativity blossom and bring a fresh, botanical charm to your walls with a simple but beautiful Floral Wall Basket.
Floral Wall Basket Tutorial
I love making wreaths, but sometimes I want something a little different. I love creating Floral Wall Baskets for that reason! They are gorgeous but so unique and a little different than a traditional round wreath. They are also so easy to pull together.
I love using a wide variety of florals and greenery in my basket. Just switching up the florals creates an entirely different look. A Floral Wall Basket is so versatile because you can make it more whimsical or more classic, depending mainly on what flowers and greenery you choose. You can use your favorite florals or greenery to make it your own.
Just like most of our wreaths, this Fall Wall Basket is so simple! It’s a 15-minute project that looks like you’ve made something much more complicated. Because it uses a premade base, it’s a very beginner-friendly project, and you’re going to love making one for your home.

Ingredients
Directions
- Begin with your basket wreath base, acorn stem, and hydrangeas. Put a small block of floral foam into the basket piece of the base and pin it in place with U-shaped floral pins on the back of the wreath. Stuff Spanish moss into the wreath base from the back so you can’t see the foam or pins from the back.
- Grab your acorn stem and “shake hands with it.” Spread out all the leaves and fluff them out to make them bigger and fuller. Separate the stem into three sections. Our stem will naturally split into those three sections. Cut a 2” stem on each section. Dip your section in your glue and place it in the center of your foam block. This will go up through the center of your wreath.
- Prepare your hydrangea stems by cutting them to about 2” stems. These will flank the center stem, so see how they will sit and cut accordingly. Dip your hydrangea stem in glue and poke it into the foam beside the center stem. Cut your second stem the same way, apply glue and place it in the foam so that it is sitting a little in front of your center stem.
- Take your other pieces of acorn stem, cut their stems to about 1” and begin placing them around the hydrangeas. You’ll dip them in glue before placing them. They will fill in the empty space in your wreath basket. Take a big ball of your Spanish moss and begin gluing it into the arrangement, covering the floral foam and blending in with your stems to finish up your wreath!
TIPS AND TRICKS
- Make this wreath your own! Change out the greenery or florals. Hydrangeas aren’t your favorite? That’s ok, choose another larger floral, like a large peony. Changing your greenery can also make a huge difference.
- You could add a bow to your floral basket too, if you’d like. You could even change out your bow throughout the year as seasons change.
- I use what I like to call my glue skillet. It’s just a small kitchen electric skillet (that I obviously don’t use for cooking anymore!) that I melt glue sticks in. If you’re planning on making more than a couple of wreaths, this might be really helpful for you so you can just dip your stems in the glue.
What is the best way to hang the floral basket on the wall?
There are a bunch of ways to hang up your floral wall basket. You can drill a hole in the wall and use a nail or screw to hang your basket. You can also use a command hook if you do not want to put holes in your walls. A suction cup hook can help you hang it on your door if there is a window on it.
Can I use one of my own baskets for this project?
You definitely can, though it won’t be as simple as using a premade wreath basket. You’ll follow the same steps with floral foam and greenery and florals, but hanging it up might be more tricky if the basket is round. You can probably still use a nail or command hook, but it might take more maneuvering.

Ingredients
Directions
- Start by finding cutting the styrofoam so it is nestled inside of the Green Frankenstein Bucket so that it sits nicely inside and glue down. I like to use both Gorilla Glue and Hot Glue to really secure it for both now and long term.
- 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.
