FAQs

Why is fluffing out greenery sprays so important?

By opening up each stem and element you bring them to life. Animate your stems and take that design up a notch by doing these little steps that really truly make all the difference. I usually go in I’ll face all my leaves the same direction and just makes a really big polished difference.

Where did the colorful cow wreath sign come from?

The wreath sign was part of DecoExchange’s March Deluxe Wreath Subscription box. For more information check out Wreath Supply Box.

Create Bow

  • Using your 4" double sided wired ribbon, make a long tail and form a loop from back to front.
  • Pinch and twist so the same side of the ribbon is showing.
  • Create another loop from back to front, making sure the loops are the same size.
  • Now add in the 1.5" double sided wired ribbon.
  • Start with a tail. Create a loop from back to front.

  • Secure the bow to the top of the grapevine with a zip tie.

Add Greenery and Florals

  • Incorporate your greenery stems into the tails.
