Ingredients
Directions
- Begin with your Dusty Green Eucalyptus Sprays and space them around your wreath. We will have two bows on this wreath, so I created two spaces for my bows on the wreath. I alternated the sprays pointing up and down to create a fun effect.
- Continue adding your Eucalyptus Sprays around the wreath.
- Begin adding your Yellow Sunflower Bushes. I trimmed my stems to about 4”-5” long, which gave me a good length to work with. I then added them between our Dusty Green Eucalyptus Sprays. I adjusted the sprays so that the Sunflower heads were pointing forward.
- Continue adding your Sunflower Bushes around your wreath. If you add one to the top of the wreath, add one to the bottom to maintain your symmetry.
- Now, we are going to add in our Yellow Twig Flower Sprays. These will add a lot of texture to your wreath. I add my twigs into the wreath in groups of two, but stagger them when putting them in the wreath to add dimension and avoid making a “goal post”. I add them into the wreath where I think there needs to be a little more dimension.
- Continue adding these twigs around the wreath.
- Add your bows. I decided to add two bows to this wreath, because I love them both! I added my bow with longer tails on the bottom of the wreath so the tails could hang down below the wreath. I attach my bows with cable ties.
- Fluff your bows and floof your flowers, and your wreath is all done!
TIPS AND TRICKS
- I added glue to each of my stems and placed it into my wreath, but you can do a dry run. Just stick your stems into your wreath and move them around until you’re happy with their placement.
- I use a regular kitchen skillet to melt my glue sticks. This lets me quickly dip my stems into the glue and place them in my wreath. I recommend this if you are making a lot of wreaths.
Where should I hang my wreath?
Something so great about wreaths is that they are so versatile! You can make a beautiful big wreath for your front door to show off all season long. You can also make wreaths for inside, maybe a bedroom door or another room in your house. I have even made wreaths for my garden gate!
Can I use greenery on my wreaths?
Absolutely! I used Eucalyptus for this project, but there are so many different options. You can add whatever greenery you like! The best part about making wreaths is that you can make them your own and match whatever design you’d like.
