Pretty Candle Wreath Centerpiece With Wildflowers (How To Make)

To make this candle ring centerpiece, you don't need much. Patience, time and joy are the most important requirements, except for the materials, of course. Talking of materials, you will probably have most of what you need at home. As for the wildflowers, if ever you needed an excuse to take a walk in the countryside, this is it!If you have all of these things, you will find that the wreath almost binds itself!Materials needed:

• Selection of wildflowers/grasses/berries/seeds
• Straw wreath
• Scissors
• Florist's wire (Paddle wire)
• Glass hurricane lantern
• Candle Plate

CREATING THE BASE LAYERWrap the florist's wire around the wreath a few times and tie it off. We will be using the wire to wrap the wildflowers onto the wreath and won't be cutting it again until we've finished.Use the florist's wire to bind Shepherd's Purse and Alchemilla Mollis onto the straw wreath base overlapping a little as you go so as not to leave any gaps.

FLOWER LAYER

Here's the fun part! Gather together small bundles of flowers into posies. Try to take the same amount of every plant into each bundle but don't worry, it's not supposed to be perfect.Place a flower posy onto the wreath and wrap the florist's wire over the top of it to attach it to the wreath. Continue doing this, overlapping the wildflower posies until you get back to where you started.Now, you can cut the florist's wire and tie it off on the back of the wreath.
