How to Make a Simple Spring Wreath

Step 1

Using wire cutters, trim any loose pieces from your wreath.

Step 2

Cut each little cluster of flowers and greenery off of its bunch, leaving at least a couple of inches of the wire stem.

Step 3

Arrange the greenery on the wreath, layering the two different kinds. Begin with the boxwood and added the second. When you are happy, tuck the wire stem into the wreath and secure it with hot glue. Do this for both the top and the bottom of one side, leaving a gap where you will attach a bow. Repeat this process by arranging and layering in the flower stems. Play with the greenery so it overlaps a little. When you are happy with the placement, tuck the wire stem and secure it with hot glue. I love to create visual interest by layering the variety of textures and colors.

Step 4

Using the Bowdabra, the Bowdabra bow wire and wired ribbon, create a bow by making a loop and then twisting the center before creating the next loop. I have had this tool for at least 20 years. I love it and use it to create all of my bows!With the bow wire, attach the bow to the back of the wreath.

Step 5

Hang your new spring floral wreath and enjoy!
