How to Make a Breast Cancer Awareness Wreath
Step #1: Prep your sign by placing gorilla glue on your mounting strips. Make two attachment points on the sign. In the middle on the top, and middle on the bottom. Run your pipe cleaners under your mounting strips. Then set aside.
Step #2: To make your bow measure out a 14-inch tail, then pinch. Make 14-inch loops and twist, repeat until you have 3 loops. Then make 3 loops at 13 inches. The last two loops will be 14 inches. Secure with a cable tie. Do not pull all the way tight and fluff the loops. Now thread a pipe cleaner through the back of your cable tie and pull tight. Attach your bow to the grapevine on the left side. You will be working on your left side and then saving the right side to attach your sign
Step 3: Add Florals next. Before you start you want to make sure your fluff your florals first and spread out your stems before placing them under your bow. Add hot glue before placing. Then take your second floral stem and push it in from the bottom of your bow.
Step 4: Add in your greenery after adding your floral stems. Start by taking your greenery bush and cut it into small sections. Then take each section of your greenery bush and place it around your already placed bow and florals. Use hot glue to help secure your greenery into your wreath. Just add throughout to fill in the blank spaces that you see.
Step 5: Add more ribbon to your wreath by using pipe cleaners to your wreath form to secure your ribbon tails. You will do this by taking a pipe cleaner and cutting it into four sections, and cut a 14-inch piece of ribbon into four sections. Place pipe cleaner into the grapevine and twist it, then place a ribbon tail on top, pinch your ribbon and twist your pipe cleaner again. For your last ribbon attach two together and make a longer tail to attach to the bottom.
Step 6: Attach Sign by using your pipe cleaners attach your sign to the right side of your wreath. Thread your pipe cleaners through the grapevine and twist to secure.
