Instructions
Remove all the tags from your supplies.
Fluff out orange filler bush, spreading the individual stems outward for a fuller look.
Next, fluff out beige filler bush
Zip tie 3 stems together mixing the beige and orange bushes. Incorporate the greenery and florals into each other.
Repeat this process one more time.
Trim excess zip tie tails.
Connect the two bunches with a zip tie. The florals should be facing outward on each side.
You will add a bow covering the gap.
Attach to the wreath using a zip tie.
Add any smaller stems to push out that floral design a little further.
Use hot glue to secure.
Shape the individual stems as need.
Attach the monarch butterfly sign, securing with a pipe cleaner or zip tie.
Create a Bow
Start with the 1.5" wired ribbon creating 2 x 9" loops on each side and 1 x 9" loop at the center. Make sure to leave a tail, we can trim later.
Next, using the 2.5" wired ribbon create 4 x 10" loops (2 on each side).
Secure with a zip tie.
Dovetail the ribbon tails.
Fluff out the bow and position loops and tails as desired.
Secure to the middle of the floral bunch, where the gap is.
Finishing touches
Trim all the individual stems of the leather ferns.
You should have 8 in total. Glue 4 stems on each side of your floral bunch.
Always make sure you kind of come back around with some greenery, weave it through.
Add in some of these monarch butterflies.
