I love wreathes, but I hate the prices of those that are premade. Even though I love them, in the past I have only had one for winter/Christmas. However, this year I stepped out and made a gorgeous fall wreath.
To make a wreath similar to this, you will need:
- 12 inch Straw Covered Styrofoam Wreath (about $3)
- Several stems or groupings of seasonal flowers ($12 or so)
- Bobby Pins (like you use in your hair) ($0 as many of us have these on hand)
- Spools of ribbon to coordinate with your flowers ($3-$5)
- A few stick pins
First, take the plastic wrapping off your wreath.
Now wrap some pretty coordinating ribbon around the wreath and secure each section with a straight pin. (stick pin)
Next start fastening your flowers on as you like. I didn’t use any sequence, just put them on. I fastened the stems using bobby pins.
Notice the ribbon I have wrapped around the wreath there?
Go all the way around the wreath with the flowers.
To make my bow, I just made loops and arranged them as I liked. I used two coordinating ribbon colors to make this bow and then used a straight pin to attached the gourd to the center of the bow, right into the wreath, also attaching the bow. I used a stapler to help each of the loops stay the way I wanted as I made the bow.
Here is my completed wreath.
Good grief! That is awesome! I need to try this stuff.
All very creative. Good work!
