Ah, spring! You may have a holiday wreath, but nothing makes a home more pretty and inviting than a spring wreath popping with flowers and greens to welcome the season!
I used a large cascading fern on mine to emulate the natural surroundings of my house.
What you'll need:
*All supplies can be found at your local craft store
- Glue Gun + Refill Glue Sticks
- Grapevine Wreath (18" works well for most projects)
- Silk Flowers - and optional Fake Foliage and Grass
- Wire Cutter
Turn your hot glue gun on so it's ready to go when you are! Use the wire cutters to cut your flowers apart, and be sure to leave enough of a stem on each to stick into the wreath. Have fun experimenting with different arrangements and angles for your flowers before you glue them down. Once you have a design in mind, add a small amount of glue to the stem of each flower or foliage piece, and stick the ends into crevices on the wreath. **Don't let the tip of the glue gun touch the stems, because its heat will melt them away almost instantly!!!**
Rosie details are pretty in pink. They're arranged to look like they're reaching for the sun.
And voila! You've just made a fresh-looking, gorgeous wreath for spring. Hang your colorful creation from a wreath hanger, which can also be found at most craft stores.
