It’s time for our Pinterest Inspiration Challenge hosted by Cindy, County Road 407. I will list all of the participant’s links at the bottom of my page. Our inspiration photo is from Jill, Create Craft Love. Jill did an amazing job decorating her door with a garden hose. It is so cute! Let’s take a look at the garden hose wreath that Jill created. What all did she use?
- garden hose
- gardening gloves
- flowers and a butterfly

Here is my version of the Garden Hose Wreath…..
I had to go into the shed and cut a piece of hose from an old hose. Honestly, this hose should have been thrown away, but so glad we didn’t. I brought it in the house and gave it a good scrubbing.
After the hose was cleaned it still looked faded and not very attractive looking. I decided to spray paint the hose to give it some life. Before I decided on the color of paint I wanted to check out the ribbon I had on hand to coordinate with the paint. Once I picked out my ribbon I grabbed the paint and gave it two coats of paint.
To paint the whole thing I hung it on my clothes line. Me and my concoctions, right? 🙂 I am using the color Blue Ocean. This is the same paint I used when I spray painted my glass plates on my Christmas tablescape.
Here are the items I pulled together to make my wreath.
- garden hose – I used a 12 foot piece of hose
- gardening gloves
- gardening scissors
- floral bundle
- water can decor piece
- floral wire
- ribbon
I wrapped the hose to the size of an 18 inch wreath. I used floral wire to hold the hose together.
Taking my little watering can I used on our back patio I removed all the greenery from it. I grabbed a floral bundle I had in a basket in the Master bedroom, I added back the greenery.
To secure the little watering can to the hose was pretty tricky. I added floral wire to the handle and tacked a small nail at the bottom and wrapped the wire to the hose and around the nail. Worked great!
I took the gloves and scissors wrapping floral wire around them as well and connecting them on the garden hose.
I made a regular bow and added it on top of the gloves and scissors. I added a little hot glue to the ribbon’s tails to the hose to cover up the floral wires.
And that’s it! I placed it on our front door to welcome Spring. I think the colors looks so pretty against our door.
I hope you enjoyed this fun Pinterest Challenge Garden Hose Wreath.

Decorating our home on a budget is my thrill. I think a home can look beautiful without breaking the bank. Your home should bring the best out of you and make you feel happy. You should smile every time you enter your home. 🙂
Hi Terrie! I came back to relook at your sweet garden hose door decoration and I realized… You have a meadow growing right there on your front door! I love painting the hose idea… <3
Enjoy spring!
Barb 🙂
Well thank you so much Barbara. Yes, we use to live across from where cattle gaze but they turned it into corn and bean fields. Pretty in the summer when the crops are full.
Terrie, this is absolutely adorable! I love everything about it, it screams spring garden!!
Thanks Pamela. It was a fun project and super creative since we really couldn’t go out to shop for supplies. Thanks for stopping by.
Ooo, I like the Welcome word on your door! Now I will think about what to put on my door!!
Liberty
I do too Liberty. It was so easy to apply on the door. I found the wording on Amazon. Thank you for your sweet comment. Happy Spring!
What a creative idea! It’s perfect for spring. I love the color of it, too!
thanks Michelle. I would of never thought of doing a garden hose wreath but it is so cute. Thanks for stopping by.
Absolutely precious, Terrie. You nailed the Pinterest inspo challenge. I love that Krylon blue color and your “spray~painting contraption”. It turned out so cute.
I love the color blue too Carol. Yep…me and my ideas on how to let things dry after painting. Thank you so much Carol!
What a lucky break that you had an old hose in your shed. You are so clever to think to spray paint it a color to coordinate with your ribbon. Your wreath is pretty and the perfect spring touch for decorating your front door.
yes I wasn’t for sure we still had it. I had to paint it because it was so old, faded and dirty. I am glad it all worked out to use. Thank you so much Paula. Happy Spring!
So perfect, Terrie! The only one that used a hose, and you did it so well! Go you!Pinned!
I know I was so surprised that I was the only one. But everyone did an amazing job. Thank you Julie!
Love all the different hued greens you incorporated, Terri. Never would have thought about spray painting a hose! I’ve got quite a few laying around; that’s a great idea!
Thanks Lora for you sweet comment. Yes…I spray anything I need to. I used spray paint for all surface types.
Oh my goodness Terrie, I never would have thought of spray painting a garden hose but it looks fantastic. Love how you pulled it all together including the garden clippers!
Michelle, I spray paint a lot of items. I used an all surface spray paint. It was so easy and looks great. Infact, my husband asked me if I bought a new hose? ha! Thank you!
You nailed it! I love this and wish we had some old hose. I also love the added watering can idea. You are so stinkin clever. Thank you for joining in. I always appreciate you. Pinned!
I wasn’t for sure if we still had in it the shed. We needed to throw it away but I guess you can say one of us (me or my husband) was a little lazy. This time I am so happy we were. ha! Thank you Cindy.
So cute, Terrie! Love how you painted your garden hose and added all the cute garden tools. <3 Super cute!!! Love the little birdie perched on top.
Enjoy having it on your front door! 🙂
Happy spring,
Barb 🙂
Thanks Barbara. The old hose was to nasty to use so painting was the only option. I love how it looks. It painted up well. Thank you for stopping by. I have fun on this challenge.
Love your creative door DIY. It is perfect for Spring.
Thanks Amy! You have to get creative when you can’t get out to buy supplies. I love the challenge and how it pushes us to be creative.
Super cute, Terrie!! I love the colors you chose!! Pinned!!
Thanks Christine. Without shopping for supplies I had to get creative. It all worked out better than I thought. Thanks for stopping by!
Very cute Terrie and love the colors.
Cindy
Thanks Cindy. I had to work with what I had at home. It turned out better than I thought it would. Happy Spring! Stay safe.
Terri, this is adorable. I’m so glad you had that bit of hose. So cute. I love the color that you chose.
Thanks Katie. I wasn’t for sure we had the old hose left in the shed or if we tossed it. So happy we still had it. Spray painting it a color helped give the hose new life. Thanks for your sweet comment. Always love working with you!
