7. The Coastal-Inspired Starfish and Grosgrain Wreath
Bring the relaxing, breezy vibes of the seaside to your front door with a coastal-themed ribbon wreath. This design relies on crisp color palettes—such as navy blue, white, and sandy beige—and subtle nautical textures.
Wrap a flat wooden or foam wreath form tightly with wide navy-and-white striped grosgrain ribbon, securing the ends on the back with hot glue. Once the base is wrapped, create a large, structured bow using a natural jute or faux-abaca ribbon to mimic the texture of ship ropes. Attach this bow to the top or bottom of the wreath. To complete the coastal theme, hot glue a few real starfish, sand dollars, or polished sea glass pieces directly onto the wrapped ribbon base, placing them opposite the bow to create visual balance.
