STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR CREATING A FALL WREATH
With these detailed, step by step instructions you can create a beautiful Fall wreath of your own.
You will need to gather the following floral supplies: Grapevine Wreath, Ribbon, 3 Large Faux Flowers, 2 Large Greenery Branches with Interest( I used ones that had pine branches, leaves, pine cones and berries.), 3 Berry Picks, and 1 Berry Bush. You will also need wire cutters, floral wire, scissors, hot glue gun, and glue sticks.
First, you will need to lay out your grapevine wreath. Take the two branches and spread out all of the leaves.
Second, place the first branch on the top curve of the left side that is facing you.
Secure the branch to the wreath with floral wire.
Take the second branch and place it on the bottom curve of the wreath (the left side facing toward you). Secure the branch to the wreath with floral wire.
Take the three large flowers and cut them from the stem leaving half an inch of the stem on the flower. Save the leaves. Later, they will make great filler for the wreath.
Place the three flowers in between the 2 branches you just secured to the wreath. Form a bunch. The flowers should be in the center of the left side of the wreath facing toward you. Secure the flowers to the wreath using hot glue. Be very careful with the hot glue. It is very easy to get burned.
Take the three berry picks and make sure you spread out the branches. Place and secure them with the hot glue in the three places I have illustrated in the picture. I placed one at the top, one at the side, and one on the bottom. I want to apologize the picture is facing the wrong direction.
Next, it is time to fill in all of the bare spots. You can use the berry bush and leaves left from your floral stems. I simply cut pieces off of the berry bush and placed them wherever they were needed to fill in holes. It also helps to hang your wreath and stand back and look to see where it needs filler.
Lastly, attach you bow with floral wire to the wreath.
The finished product.
