I've created something I’ve wanted to make for a while – a gold leaf magnolia wreath. I spotted a laurel style wreath on Pinterest last Christmas and fell in love with it. This year I knew I needed it in my home, so I made one to hang in the bedroom.

Materials Needed For Gold Magnolia Wreath

Metallic Gold Magnolia Leaf Sprig 30″
Embroidery Hoop
Floral Wire
Tin Snips
Velvet Ribbon

Instructions

Step 1: Start by removing the magnolia leaves from the springs. Try and keep the wire tail on them so that it can help bind them to the wreath.Step 2: Lay-out the leaves in the shape of a laurel so that you can see how you’ll assemble it. It decided to gradate the size of the leaves

Step 3: Using your floral write, start attaching the leaves to the hoop in a symmetrical pattern. I did one leaf on each side before moving up a rung in the pattern.

Step 4: Keep going until you hit the top of the hoop. At that point, you should be using the leaves to tip the design upwards. It’s part of getting the laurel look.For those last leaves at the top I actually stapled them to the leaves behind them so that they would keep their angle.

Step 5: Add a little velvet bow to cove the stems and wire from the first leaves. You can do any kind of bow or loop, but I like the good ole’ fashioned kentucky ribbon.

Hang your wreath and enjoy the beauty!
