Wreath Making Directions:

1. Take your wooden letter and choose the direction you want to wrap your yarn/twine (you can go horizontally or vertical), than start wrapping it with it, using every now and then some hot glue to secure the material to the letter. Try not to leave any blank spots. If you want your letter to have sections with different colors, just cut the yarn or twine at the point you want the next color to start and continue with that color.
2. Once done, you can wrap it once more to make sure you have a nice finish. You can alter the wrapping direction or continue in the same way.
3. When you are happy with the look of your letter, it’s time to add your embellishments. Rustic or silk flowers look great with twine, but you can choose whatever you believe will suit your home. Use twine/yarn or hot glue to secure them to the letter.
4. Tie the ribbon into a bow and glue the ends together so you can hang your wreath.

Add flowers and a pretty ribbon for a decorative touch.

1. Form a circular shape out of a piece of floral wire. Make sure that the size loosely fits the shape of your head. Cut off excessive wire and wrap floral tape around the entire shape for a couple of times.
2. Set a layer of greenery around the form and secure with tape. It will hide the wire and act as the base of the crown.
3. Now, it’s time to attach the flowers to the form. Cut the stems of the flowers at 2-3 inches long and secure them to the base with the floral tape. Wrap the tape around the stem about four to five times to make sure it stays.

Layering a few different types of flowers around the form as it will create a striking and textured look. The good thing about making a floral crown is that you can tweak and twist in numerous ways based on the type of flowers you have on hand, the hairstyle you’re planning on, and the occasion you’re making it for.

Scissors

Directions for Making Flower Baskets

1. Either leave the tote bag natural or brush it with white acrylic paint or any color you like. Bright colors will give it a sprightly summer look while the white paint will lend it a bit French-flea market looking.
2. Cut one handle of the tote bag or fold it inside the bag and attach with glue. Thus, it’s now left with one handle that’ll serve as the hanger.
3. Fold the stems the length you need instead of cutting them down. In this way, you can re-use the flowers for other future projects. Layer the flowers and place them inside the bag. Add a few sticks of faux greenery as the finishing touch. You can try different combinations, colors, and shapes as it will create a more interesting look. Pull and bend the flowers either to bring them forward or to push to the back to get your desired look.
4. Now, hang the flower basket on the door with the handle. If you want, make a small bow with the ribbon and attach it to the front side of the bag with a stack pin.

Use various colors and combinations to make the look more interesting.

Flower Storage Baskets with Bouquet

Instead of tote bag and single flower stems, you can use small storage baskets and flower bouquet for making this craft. Glue the bottom of 3 or 4 glass jars and place them inside the basket. Now, put the bouquets inside the jars and see how pretty they look! If you use bouquets of fresh flowers, put small amount of water inside the jars before placing the flowers.

Flower door baskets are a simply beautiful craft to try if you are looking for good wreath substitutes. Using faux flowers for this craft is practical but fresh flowers and foliage are also fine as they will lend the baskets an absolutely gorgeous look.

Consider Using Fresh Wedding Flowers instead of Artificial

Since your wedding day only comes once, pamper yourself and use fresh wedding flowers wreaths. Visit a wholesale flower market which is fairer than florists. If there isn’t a market near you, go to your local florist and get the flowers you want. Make sure you place an order in advance so you can get the best flowers. Most florists order the same flowers so if you want something unique you have to go early.

“How to make a wreath” may be one of the most searched questions on Google, but people rarely search for wedding wreaths. This means that if you use wreaths as  your wedding decorations, everyone will remember your big day.
