How to Draw a Laurel Wreath
Draw a laurel wreath in 10 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: two stems.
Step 1: Two stems
Start below the middle. Sweep a big C out left and up, stopping near the top. Same on the right.
Tip Leave a gap at the top: a wreath is open, not a full circle.
Step 2: Leaves on the left
Along the left stem draw 7 pointed leaves, taking turns inside and outside, all the way up.
Step 3: Leaves on the right
Do the same along the right stem: 7 pointed leaves taking turns, all the way up to the tip.
Step 4: The bow
Where the stems meet at the bottom draw a small oval knot, with a fat loop swinging out each side.
Step 5: Ribbon tails
Under the bow draw 2 ribbon tails hanging down from the knot, each ending in a little V notch.
Step 6: Sparkles
Draw a sparkle star in the gap above the wreath and a smaller one off each side.
Step 7: Green leaves left
Go over your lines, then colour all the leaves on the left stem green.
Step 8: Green leaves right
Colour all the leaves on the right stem green too.
Step 9: Red bow
Colour the knot, the loops and the ribbon tails red.
Step 10: Yellow sparkles
Colour the 3 sparkles yellow. Your laurel wreath is done!
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a laurel wreath, drawn by you.
