Sue – I’d say in that situation you should stick with artificial flowers and wreaths. However, if you did want to try this hydrangea wreath, consider spray painting the hydrangeas so it does not matter if they discolor. I have spray painted some white and used them as large ornaments on my Christmas tree, so I know spray painting preserves them beautifully!

Good luck to you!
Melissa

My steel front door is always an issue when it comes to wreaths of any kind as we’re full sun and have a full glass storm door. Even though we’re in NJ, the metal door heats up in the winter and everything discolors – that’s when I can even find something to fit between the doors… So many wreaths are so thick or poofy! Any tips for treating the flowers to withstand the heat box that is my entry door (short of constructing an overhang… That’s on my wishlist! Haha)

My neighbor gave me the same tip so I recently spray painted a ton white and covered them in glitter. I can’t wait to decorate them at Christmas time as ornaments on the tree! Thanks for your idea and sharing a comment! 🙂 I hope you come back again Ramona!

I have really enjoyed your site on my lazy afternoon. I wanted to add a tip here which probably is on your site somewhere, I’m sure!!! I grow hydrangeas in Southern Alabama, I have around 70+ plants. Either dried or dead hydrangea blooms take spray paint really well. I have sprayed them many colors, gold or red is especially nice at Christmas. So, it would be great to spray your wreath after the blooms have all died.

You know, you’re right. An awl would’ve been perfect for this project. I will pick one up next time I am at the hardware store.

Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment, Jauquetta!

You could use a cake circle board, if you had some. I would recommend using an ice pick or an awl to puncture the cardboard, using scissors is a bit dangerous. A awl has so many great uses, they are only a couple of bucks, a great addition to the tool box. I use mine to start holes in the wall, scrib lines on wood, start holes in wood prior to drilling. Thanks.
