Split Pea Wreath

Crafts/DIY· Fall

I love the simplicity of this beautiful split pea wreath that I made for fall but can be used in spring or summer to!

Split Pea Wreath - So Much Better With Age

Disclosure: affiliate links are added for your convenience.

I’ve seen split pea wreaths around Pinterest and I wanted to make one myself!

I love simple wreaths and wanted to make one for fall. I made two for my double front doors.

They are really easy to make but warning…a bit messy.

Perfect job for the kids!

So here’s what you need for to make the wreaths:

SUPPLIES:

  • straw wreath
  • 1 bag of split peas per wreath
  • not regular glue, use Mod Podge {I tried the regular glue, it worked okay}
  • gloves

TUTORIAL:

1. Go outside and set up a work station on your kids tiny picnic table.

2. Spread tons of Mod Podge glue on the inside area of the wreath with a chip or foam brush.

3. Grab a handful of split peas on press it on the glue.

4. Keep spreading glue and putting on peas all around the wreath.

5. Let areas dry for awhile  and go back and spread on more glue and fill the holes with more split peas.

6. Keep gluing, adding peas, letting dry and do over and over until it seems done 😉

You’ll see the spots that are bare that you’ll have to go over and fill later.

I used a straw wreath so if the parts of the straw show through it still looks purdy 😉

I made two for two doors, in case that wasn’t clear.

    That totally looks like a project my kids would love to help with!! My almost three year old would definitely be trying to eat the dried peas though:) What a classic wreath design – it looks so pretty Jamie!! Great job!

    What a cute idea! I cannot imagine how much trouble they were for you, falling off and trying not to stick, lol. They look great!

It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did It’s feeling pretty Monday like today but I did manage to get a load of work done. That’s feels good for a start of the week. 💚 Design dilemma: did you know that changing the doors and trim work jn your house can bring it up to date? If you skip it during a renovation, your house will still look dated. Swipe to see a before photo in my house. Such a difference it makes, right? 💚➡️ Check stories for more details in my blog post.

Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly L Recently I wrote a blog post all about Chantilly Lace by @benjaminmoore. First, I love Simply White. I’ve painted it everywhere in my house, walls, cabinets, doors, trim. The color is perfect in my house. In some houses it shows a yellow undertone. If it does, White Dove is usually a great choice. But this is what I learned about 6 months ago in a color course I took, Chantilly Lace has nearly zero undertone! 💚➡️ Be sure to check out my blog post on Chantilly Lace and all the real house examples. I also have posts on the best way to pick white & grey paint colors in your home. I’ll leave direct links in stories & in a highlight in my profile. 💚
