A wreath is a ring or circlet of flowers, boughs, or leaves worn on the
head, placed on a memorial, or hung as a decoration. By using dried
flowers a colorful wreath can be created to hang on the front door or
over the mantel. It adds elegance and liveliness to the beauty of your
home.
Method of Making Dry Flower Wreath
- Gather a large grocery bag full of garden trimmings.
- Cut the stems from dried flowers. Good choices of flowers are
lavender, hydrangea, sea foam statice, and strawflowers.
- Attach a floral wire anywhere along the wire wreath frame.
- Select several stems of foliage pieces and place them together in
a bunch with the cut ends facing the same direction.
- Lay a few dried flowers on top of the bundle of foliage.
- Place bundle on top of the frame where floral wire is attached.
- Hold bundle in place and wrap the floral wire around the bundle
and frame.
- Gather another bundle of foliage and flowers and lay it so that
the leaves overlap with the first bunch and cover the cut ends. The
stems on both bunches should be facing the same direction.
- Continue overlapping the bunches and wiring them to the frame
until a circle is completed.
- Tuck the last bundle under the first bundle attached to the
wreath frame.
- When over cut the wire and the dried flower wreath is
ready.
