DIY Forsythia Spring Porch!

Spring has officially sprung, and I’m here to help you make your front porch the star of the neighborhood—all in under 30 minutes! I’ve partnered with Hobby Lobby to show you how to create a fresh, welcoming spring porch using their beautiful and budget-friendly forsythia faux florals. Your front door is the first thing people see, so let’s make a beautiful first impression that practically screams spring (in the friendliest way, of course)!

The Star of the Show: Forsythia Garlands

Let me introduce you to the true MVP of spring decorating: forsythia garlands. These sunny yellow beauties are not only affordable but also incredibly versatile. I spotted them at Hobby Lobby and immediately knew they had porch magic written all over them. Drape them over your front door and BAM! Instant spring color that makes your home feel happy and refreshed. Bonus? You can also use them on your mantel, entryway, staircase, or literally anywhere that needs a burst of cheer.

Creating a Spring Forsythia Door That Wows

Your front door is the ultimate first impression. Whether it’s your neighbors dropping by or delivery drivers secretly judging your seasonal decor game, your door sets the tone. With these forsythia garlands, you get maximum impact with minimal effort. Just drape, fluff, and let the sunshine vibes roll in. Trust me, your porch will look like you hired a professional stylist, but only you (and I) will know the secret.

Matching Forsythia Wreath Tutorial: Easy and Stunning

To take the porch up a notch, I made a matching forsythia wreath, and friends, it’s easier than baking a boxed cake mix. Here’s what you’ll need from Hobby Lobby (and yes, their faux florals, Spring Department and ribbon are ON SALE right now, so it’s basically a crafting trifecta).

Forsythia Wreath Supplies:

• 1 grapevine wreath form
• 1 forsythia garland
• 1 forsythia branch
• Hot glue + glue gun
• Ribbon (my FAVORITE part)

Pro tip: Hobby Lobby’s ribbon is next-level fabulous. Find it in the fabric section AND in the wedding department—yes, ribbon is so good it needs two departments.

How to Make Your Forsythia Wreath Like a Pro

Ready for the easiest wreath tutorial ever? Let’s go.

1. Cut the Loops: Start by snipping off the round loops from your forsythia garland. There is.a loop on each end which is great for hanging the garlands over your door, but you don’t need them to make this wreath.
2. Wrap and Glue: Wrap the garland around your grapevine wreath, securing it with hot glue every so often. It doesn’t have to be perfect—the branches are forgiving, and the goal is to create a natural, full look.
3. Branch It Out: Take your forsythia sprig and gently pull it apart into 5-6 individual branches. Then, thread those little guys evenly into the wreath for extra dimension and fullness. Have the sprigs face the same way around the wreath for a more uniform appearance. A dab of hot glue will keep them in place (and make sure they don’t fly off during porch parties or windy days).
4. Bow Time: Finally, add your ribbon bow at the bottom for that chef’s kiss finishing touch. You’ll want to step back and admire it for a good five minutes because it’s just that pretty.

Bonus Project: Teacup Planter That’s Almost Too Cute

Now, let’s talk about the adorable teapot planter that’s giving major spring vibes. I found this teacup in Hobby Lobby’s SPRING section (which is also on sale right now, bless). Here’s how to create this cuteness:

1. Add green floral foam to the bottom of the teacup.
2. Cover the foam with moss for a natural look.
3. Pop in some sprigs of forsythia and a few other faux florals of your choice.
4. Hot glue a matching bow to the front because, let’s be honest, everything looks better with a bow.

This little planter is the cherry on top of your spring porch setup. It’s cheerful, whimsical, and the best part? It’s maintenance-free. Faux florals = always looking fresh, zero watering required.

Faux vs. Fresh: The Low-Maintenance Win

Sure, you could use fresh flowers—but let’s be real. Faux florals have come a long way and they’re looking more realistic than ever. Plus, they don’t wilt, they don’t need watering, and they won’t judge you if you forget about them for three weeks. These Hobby Lobby florals are so gorgeous, you’ll find yourself questioning whether they’re even faux.

Finishing Touches: Yellow Doormat + Flower Pillow Joy

To tie everything together, I found the happiest yellow doormat and a Floral Embroidery Pillow in the Spring Department. They instantly pulled the whole look together and added a playful pop of color. You’ll feel like you’ve upgraded to porch influencer status in no time.

Run (Don’t Walk!) to Hobby Lobby

Seriously, if you’ve been thinking about refreshing your porch, now is the time. The SPRING Department, faux florals, and ribbon are all on sale and it’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself to a mini porch makeover. Whether you’re crafting a wreath, styling a teacup planter, or just grabbing some garlands for your mantel, Hobby Lobby has everything you need for SPRING!
