How to make a flower wreath?


You need

To make your own flower wreath, you need steel wire, myrtle wire, floral tape and silk ribbon. And of course lots of lovely flowers and lots of greenery.

Ribbon and scissors

How to make the base

Measure the length of steel wire you need and make two loops at the ends. Tape the frame with floral tape so that the flowers sit better.

Attach the flowers to the wreath

Now is the time to attach the flowers to the wreath. Start by tying the myrtle wire onto the end of the steel wire. Take some of the flowers and wrap the myrtle thread 2-3 times around the stems. Add more flowers and tie them tightly. Remember to tighten the myrtle thread well enough that the flowers stay in place, but not too tight so that the flowers break. Fasten a few flowers at a time until the wreath is complete. Fasten the myrtle thread after the last round.

Tie a silk ribbon

Take a long silk ribbon and thread it through the loops. Put the wreath on your head and tie a beautiful bow of the silk ribbon at the back.
