[DIY] Floral Wreath

DO-It Yourself

Floral Wreath

Now, the key to a perfect wreath is all in this formula. You'll need:

•  3 filler flower sprigs 
• 2 pieces of greenery 
• 1 main flower

While we've demonstrated how to make a springtime hoop wreath, this method will allow you to easily and effortlessly create an arrangement, no matter the season or botanical materials you use. 

1. Gather Your Materials 
The items you'll need to make a wreath are as follows:

•  Supplies 
•  Metal hoop or embroidery hoop (we used a 12" one) 
• Floral wire 
• 3 filler flowers 
• 2 sprigs of greenery 
• 1 main flower 
• Ribbon 
• Tools 
•  Wire cutters 
• Scissors 
• Hot glue gun (optional)

2. Cut and Arrange Your Florals
Remove any unnecessary leaves (or wilted ones if your flowers are real), and cut extra long stems down. Then begin arranging how you'd like your wreath to look, before actually wiring and gluing anything down.

3. Attach Your Greenery 
Take the sprigs of greenery you selected and wire one at a time along one half of the metal hoop. Wrap the wire along the length of each stems, making sure to lift leaves as you go so they don't get squished. Oftentimes hoop wreaths have florals on one side and the exposed metal hoop on the other. If you'd like to cover the entirety of your wreath, feel free to do so! If you find that the wire isn't holding the plants exactly how you want it to, use a hot glue gun and make adjustments as needed.

4. Place Your Filler Flowers 
Take the smaller blooms you selected and begin wiring them into the sparser spots of the wreath. Use the same method you did for the greenery, but avoid wrapping the entire flower (just the stem). Use a hot glue gun if needed to help make the flowers stick.

5. Add the Final Flower
Take your main bloom and wire it onto your frame. We prefer putting ours off to the side for a little extra personality, but play around with it and see what type of layout you like best. As with the other flowers and greenery, use your wire to attach the flower.

6. Set and Attach Ribbon
 Allow your florals to set for at least a half an hour. This gives them a chance to adjust within the wire, and if you used hot glue as reinforcement, it allows it to fully dry. After, tie a ribbon to the top of your wreath for hanging.

7. Display 
Once you've finished making your hoop wreath, hang your wreath above a mantel, on a wall, or on a door. You now have yourself a perfect spring wreath!
