Homemade Hawaiian Wreath Craft
Here is how to make your very own Hawaiian flower wreath! These are great for a Hawaiian-themed birthday party, but they also would be great for a wedding too!
With this Hawaiian flower craft, you might not have everything already at home, so you might need to order online or go to the store beforehand.
Tropical Flower Wreath Supplies:
- Wreath Ring (at Walmart, it comes in a 3 pack, or try Joann fabrics, you can buy them singly there)
- Palm Leaves (The ones I used are from Michaels)
- Pink Hibiscus Flowers (I found mine at Michaels, but this gives you a variety pack!)
- Scissors
- Floral Tape (I got this at Dollar Tree)
- Wire Cutters
- Hot Glue Gun
How to Make a Hawaiian Flower Wreath
Using the wire cutters, carefully and neatly clip 4 pieces of palm leaves. Leave a couple of inches so you have some to attach on either side of your metal hoop for decoration.
Next, you’ll want to remove the hibiscus flowers from the stems (they will easily pop off)! If you get the ones mentioned above, you might not even need to do this step!
Then, cut about 6″ long sections out of floral tape that will go around your stem in order to hold it together more securely.
Start by wrapping one layer tightly around the stem of your palm leaf (the part without any leaf).
Repeat this process with the remaining 3 palm leaves. You’ll want 2 leaves on each side of your wreath.
Finally, apply some hot glue to the bottom of each of the 3 hibiscus flowers and place them in between the palms on the metal hoop.
Remember to allow them to dry fully before hanging your flower wreath on the wall.

Hawaii Flower Wreath FAQs
If you want to DIY luau decorations for a party, there are tons of fun options. For centerpieces, you can create paper pineapples or palm trees. And you can also make paper flower leis to hand out to guests (or have that be a kid’s craft project during your party).
I think it all comes down to tropical decorations, Hawaiian food, and Hawaiian music. If you really want to go all out, you can hand out leis, hire a hula dancer to perform, and offer some fun outdoor games.
You can use a wreath container if you are worried about it getting smooshed. Otherwise, you can place it in a plastic tub with your other luau decoration.
There are so many ways to make a homemade Hawaiian wreath of flowers. One of the easiest and best ways to make a flower wreath is by getting some artificial flowers and leaves and hot gluing them onto a wreath ring.
