How to Make a Decorative Wreath

20131112_071346

 

One of my favorite things to make for my home is a decorative wreath. I have several that I have made throughout the years. This wreath is a good one to try for your first time decorating a wreath.

Items Needed:

· Grapevine Wreath – I like to use the medium size ones, but any size is fine
· 3 – 4 silk flower stems, various kinds
· Ivy or any other type of greenery
· Wire Cutters
· Hot Glue Gun
· Wreath Hanger

Directions:

· Cut off the excess flower stems, leaving about 4-6 inches of the stem.
· Arrange the flowers where you want them on the wreath. I tend to start on the edges and work my way down. Insert the stem in between the grapevine wreath. If needed, hot glue the flowers in place. A lot of times, I do not use the hot glue if the flowers are wedged in place real well.
· Wrap the greenery around the wreath and glue in place.
· Hang on a wreath hanger.   Enjoy!

Have Fun and Happy Crafting
