Can my Wheat Wreath be in Direct Sunlight?
It is best to keep your wheat Wreath out of direct sunlight if you wish for it to last. Direct sunlight can bleach the wheat, making them lighten in color. This may not sound so bad, but when this happens, the wheat gets even more dry and brittle than it already is and it will fall apart!
If properly taken care of, this type of wreath can last years. So if your front door has no shade, then perhaps consider keeping it as an indoor decoration.

DIY Wheat Wreath Tutorial
For this DIY we are going to make a classic spiraled wheat wreath.
Supplies
- Wire Wreath Form – There are many different wheat forms to choose from, but for this project, we are sticking with the classic wire.
- Wheat Bundles – You can get these online, from Walmart, Hobby Lobby, etc.
- Thin Wire – You can get this from any craft section or store
- Wire Cutters – Obviously you do not have hulk strength and cannot tear apart metal. So these come in handy.
- Scissors – To cut stems
After you have these supplies we can go on step one!
Step One: Separate Wheat.
Separate the wheat into about 2-inch thick bundles. You can make this thicker depending on your preference.
Step Two: Cut Wire
Depending on the size of your wreath, you will need to cut the wire into 4-5 inch pieces. I’d say 10-15 pieces will be enough but use your own wreath size to determine what will be right for you.
Step Three: Start assembly.
You’re going to want to take your little bunch of wheat and lay them at an angle onto the form. About 40-45 Degrees will do it. Then you take a piece of wire and fasten the bundle to the form. Be careful not to pull too hard because you could snap the wire(okay maybe you do have hulk strength). When you are done, trim any extra wire and then trim the stems
Step Four: Alternate Bundles Inward
Keep adding bundles, each one pointing a little more inward to the last. This will create a spiral look when you are finished with your Wreath.
That’s it! You’ve created a classic spiral wheat wreath. Aren’t you just in love with it?
