Begin by checking your grapevine wreath base to ensure there aren’t any twigs or sticks poking out that might scratch your customer’s door. If you see any, cut them off.
Now, begin adding your white floral stems to the base. These pretty little white flowers will act as your filler and hide a lot of your grapevine base while providing a backdrop for your tulips to shine.Dip each stem into hot glue, then slide the stem into the grapevine base.Tip: Slide all the stems into the base from the same direction to provide a uniform-looking base.
Next, take your tulip bushes in the first color you want to use. Use a stem cutter to cut the smaller stems of blooms off of the main stem.Continue dipping each stem into hot glue before inserting it into the grapevine and working around the wreath.Tip: I recommend adding each additional set of florals into the gaps in your design to ensure you end up with a full and gorgeous final wreath.
Now take your second color of tulips and follow the same process.
And repeat the same process one more time with the third color of tulip stems, balancing out the colors and filling in any open gaps as you work your way around the frame.Now, you could truly stop here and have a beautiful wreath to hang or sell in about 15 minutes. But we’re going to add a little more.
Use bolt cutters to cut the smaller stems off the main eucalyptus stem. Dip each stem into the hot glue and add them into the design sporadically, anywhere you see open spots. This greenery makes an excellent filler!
Y’all, this design sells just as well with or without the bow, but here’s how to make the ideal bow embellishment for this wreath of tulips.Take your 1.5” ribbon and measure out a 9” tail. Pinch the ribbon at that mark and hold it in your non-dominant hand as you use your dominant hand to make loops.Start by making (2) 4” loops, then pinch, twist, and create (2) 5” loops behind the first two loops. Pinch, twist, and then make (2) 6” loops behind the second layer of loops.Now create the final layer for the bow on your spring tulips wreath. Pinch and twist the ribbon and make (2) 7” loops. Cut your tail at 9”.Wrap a pipe cleaner around the center and twist the bow to tighten it. Use the pipe cleaner to attach the bow to the wreath on the left side of the design. Dovetail the ribbon ends and spread out the loops and tails to make the bow look full and beautiful.
