When I moved into my house I designed a neutral kitchen. The cabinets are all white, the appliances stainless and the penny tile backsplash is a medium gray. I love it. One of the reasons that I’ve enjoyed it so much is that I can easily change a few items out to transform my kitchen from something basic into a room that delights.

During the holidays it’s full of red and green, over the summer it’s sported a bit of navy, but recently I’ve really wanted to incorporate some brighter details. I decided to sprinkle the kitchen with some sunshine. I’ve incorporated some lemon details into the space, including a pretty DIY lemon wreath I made up a few weeks ago. The best part? I was able to keep a touch of navy in the space through the wreath, which ties in nicely with the living space just on the other side of the kitchen island. SCORE!

The elements I incorporated into this wreath are easy to find and relatively inexpensive if you’re a craft store coupon shopper like I am. To make things easier on you though, I’ve included links to all of the items used below!

Here’s what you will need to recreate this lemon wreath:

10″ Grapevine Wreath
Green English Ivy (1 Bunch)
Large Yellow Lemons (1 Bag)
Mini Yellow Lemons (1 Bag)
Fern and Eucalyptus Bundle (1 Bunch)
Navy Filler (1 Stem) I used something I had on hand, but this navy stem would also work nicely.
Yellow and White Grosgrain Ribbon
Floral Wire
Floral Wire Cutters
Glue Gun + Hot Glue
Scissors

How to make a lemon wreath:

Start your project with a plain wreath form. I used a 10? grapevine wreath. I use a grapevine wreath more often than not, because it’s so easy to attach additional elements to the wreath with minimal wire and glue!
Add base greenery to the wreath form. For this wreath, I used a small spray of itty bitty English Ivy. It covered the grapevine wreath nicely and provided a nice base for texture. Once the ivy was down I added additional greenery to build up the wreath. For individual stems like to use hot glue on the end of the stem and anchor it in the grapevine branches.
Add lemons to the wreath. I used larger lemons at the bottom of the wreath to provide some weight and hold things down visually. The smaller lemons were placed around the remainder of the wreath. I only used a portion of each package on my wreath. The rest are spread through the kitchen as decor.
Fill in any empty spots with additional navy floral stem and its leaves.
Define the top of the wreath with a pretty yellow and white bow.
