How to Make a Pink and White Magnolia Wreath
Step #1: First insert a zip tie through one hole and out the next leaving them untied. The outer row will have 16 zip tie openings. The row inside of that will have eight zip tie openings. The next inner row will have eight zip tie openings. The center will have four zip tie openings.
Step #2: Second cut 32 strips of 10” pink deco-mesh. Make a petal with your deco-mesh by folding tip-to-tip. Next, Tug at the center a bit with your finger then gather the edges in towards the middle.
Step #3: Third insert the mesh petal into each zip tie on the outer edge and cinch tight. Make 16 pink petals using the same method. Clip the excess zip ties with your wire cutters.
Step #4: Repeat the same method making pink mesh petals and insert them into the inner row of zip ties. Clip the excess zip tie.
Step # 5: Cut eight strips of 10” pink poly burlap that are 10” long. Trim a nice clean edge each time to avoid seeing jagged edges on your petals. Use the same method to make eight pink and white mesh petals by folding tip-to-tip and gathering towards that center.
Step #6: Insert each petal into the next inner zip tie openings and cinch tight. Clip excess zip ties with wire cutters.
Step #7: In the center, you will be bridging holes by adding four additional zip ties to connect the dots in between the zip ties that are already in place.
Step #8: Make eight more pink deco-mesh petals by folding tip-to-tip. Once you are down with that now fold over one more time into a triangle shape. Find the center opposite of the point and pinch the ends towards that center. Trim off the excess mesh at the end of the petals.
Step #8: Add your smaller petals into the eight zip tie openings in the center of your base. Clip off excess zip ties.
Step #10: Now to separate the second to the last row of petals to spread out the petals and give you twice as many.
Step #11: Add a pipe cleaner through the center two dots of the flower board.
Step #12: Lastly measure a length of black deco-mesh and cut. Fold it in half lengthwise and fold up each end. Gather along the bottom to make a ruffle. Zip tie the bottom of your ruffle tight. Clip the excess zip tie.
