Step-by-Step Wreath Instructions
1. Prepare the Wreath Base
Start with your oval wreath form. Add your pampas grass and greenery to the left side of the wreath to create depth and a natural base for your floral placement. Glue or secure in place with zip ties.
2. Create Decorative Mesh Ruffles
Cut a piece of the 10″ mesh and pinch the middle to create a ruffle look. Secure it with a pipe cleaner. This adds volume and texture behind your floral clusters.
3. Make Ribbon Bows
Use three different wired ribbons to make layered bows. Start with two loops per ribbon, stack them, and secure them together with a zip tie. Trim the tails at an angle for a polished look.
4. Add Mesh and Ribbon to the Wreath
Attach your mesh ruffle and bow to the open area of your wreath using a zip tie. Dovetail the ribbon ends and fluff the loops for fullness.
5. Add Floral and Greenery
Glue or secure red roses, magnolias, and your greenery around the base and around your mesh. Aim for balance by clustering flowers on one side and adding greenery to frame them.
6. Add Decorative Picks
Insert your red decorative spray picks into the wreath to bring dimension and Valentine charm.
7. Attach Your Valentine Heart Sign
Use pipe cleaners or cable mounts on the back of your heart-shaped sign and attach it to the right side of the wreath. This final touch gives your wreath its Valentine theme.
