Sunflower Knot Wreath

This DIY tutorial on how to make a sunflower knot wreath has easy to follow, step-by-step instructions. An hour or so of your time results in this lovely sunflower knot wreath, perfect for your front door!

Sunflower Knot Wreath

This is a simple wreath craft. It is knots, well, ties. The color choices + the wreath frame are what makes the flower color. Here are some color combination ideas:

● Sunflower: yellow flower petals, brown center

● Daisy: white flower petals, yellow center

● Gerbera Daisy: red, pink, orange, light purple, or peach flower petals, yellow center

Tips for Making this Sunflower Knot Wreath:

● On this frame, the petals touch one other at points, do those first and then work up, so center to tip. It will be easier.

● I purposely took the photos of this flower wreath in different places so people could see how the background obscured the flower design. I never touched the knots to straighten anything so you could see how it would look. With a solid background (the fireplace wall), it is a bit more difficult to identify as a sunflower. With a see-through background (the glass door), it is easy to envision this as a sunflower. Keep that in mind when deciding where you are going to hang your Sunflower Knot Wreath.

Sunflower Knot Wreath Materials:

● 2 yards Petal Color(s) Fabric, cut in one yard increments (you could do two yards, but my folding instructions are for 1 yard). Yellow 100% Cotton, 45″ wide was used for the craft shown
● 1 yard “Seeds, Florets” color. Brown 100% cotton, 45″ wide was used for the craft shown.
● 18″ Sunflower Wreath Frame
● Measuring Tape or Ruler
● Pen or Pencil
● Scissors

Sunflower Knot Wreath Directions:

● There is no need to press or steam your fabric unless it is extremely wrinkled, prohibiting you from being able to cut a straight line. Precision and exact measurements are also not necessary. The irregularity of the cuts adds character to this cute wreath!

● Lay your fabric in half onto a flat surface. This fabric is 45″ wide.
● Fold in half so that the long length is what you see (see photo).
● Fold in half again so that the long length is what you see (see photo).
● Fold in half a third time so that the long length is what you see (see photo).

● Mark off one inch at the end of the fold.

● Cut to the end (approximately 4 5/8″ long). You will have a bunch of folded over piece of fabric (see photo).

● Put your scissors in between the folds at the end, and snip (see photo).
● Continue to do this for all the yellow fabric and all the brown fabric.

● Insert a piece of yellow fabric at one of the petals. On this frame, the petals touch one other at points, so do those first and then work up – center to tip. It will be easier.
● Simply tie one fabric around the wire, pull tight. You are not double knotting.
● Scrunch together the fabric every few knots so you do not end up with hole.

● Do all the yellow petals first.
● Then the brown inside frame.
● When you have finished, make sure the knots are all on the outside of the frame.

● This is what the sunflower knot wreath looks like against one of my front doors.

● This is how the sunflower knot wreath looks against one of my clear stormdoors. You can see every detail clearly.

● This is what the sunflower knot wreath looks like above my fireplace. While admittedly a darker area, you can see how looks fuller even though I never touched the knots in any of these three final photographs.

● This is a simple craft to do. Once all the material is cut, it can be done while watching an hour of your favorite television show.
