Directions

  • Start by prepping your Twig Polkadot Carrot Form Wreath Base. I put a piece of floral foam on the brim of the scarecrow’s hat, which we will use later. I just glue it on with hot glue, then add some floral pins through the back.
  • Break down your Rosemary Spray into a few pieces. It should be pretty easy to tell where to cut your spray down. Cut all your stems down to about 2” each. 
  • Place one of your spray pieces into the floral foam, toward the left of the floral foam. Go opposite that one and place another going down to the right. Add a few more pieces around the perimeter of your base, creating a greenery base for your piece. 
  • Start breaking down your Button Leaf Hanging Bush. This bush is made to hang down. I added a piece from the bottom of the floral foam with a floral pin, hanging down in front of the rosemary pieces.
  • Grab 2 pieces of the hanging bush that has a wire stem to help them stand, and place these toward the top of your floral foam. I had mine hanging off to the right side and off to the left side. 
  • Cut your Twine Stripe Carrot Spray into two pieces. I added my carrots into the foam, one coming out of the top and one coming out to the left. 
  • Attach your bow! I added a floral pin to the back of my bow and attached it that way. 
  • Start to add a little dimension to your wreath by adding those left-over greenery pieces in and around the bow. This will add so much more dimension to your wreath!
  • Your cute Spring Carrot Door Hanger Wreath is complete! 

TIPS AND TRICKS

  • I use a regular kitchen skillet to melt my glue sticks. This allows me to dip my stems into the glue and place them in my wreath easily. I definitely recommend this if you are making a lot of floral projects.
  • I added glue to each stem as I placed it in the floral foam, but you could absolutely do a “dry run” beforehand. Just be sure you don’t move them TOO much or it’ll make your floral foam fall apart.

How do I keep my wreath from banging on my door?

Ah, keeping your wreath from doing the door dance can be a bit tricky, but don’t worry! First off, consider using a soft adhesive-backed hook or a wreath hanger that fits snugly over your door without scratching or damaging it. Next up, try adding a small piece of felt or foam to the back of your wreath where it meets the door – it’ll act as a buffer and minimize any banging. Another nifty trick is to secure the bottom of your wreath with a small piece of double-sided tape or hook-and-loop fastener to prevent it from swinging around in the wind. With these simple tips, your wreath will stay put and keep the peace with your door, no banging required!
