Easter Wreath
Hello Dear Subscribers,
An Easter wreath featuring pastel coloured silk flowers is a lovely idea to hang on the door or on a wall.
A wreath is a circle and represents everlasting life.
Children are sure to love this design, and it is very easy to create.
A twig wreath is used as a base, and it features a delightful bunny holding a spray of pink ranunculus.
Silk yellow daffodils and small flowers clusters in shades of pink, lavender and yellow have been used.
Green and pink ribbon bows are inserted between the flowers.
The materials used in this design are
Twig wreath base
Silk flowers and leaves of choice
Toy bunny
Ribbon
Glue Gun
22 gauge wire x 10cm (4") long.
1. Cut the stems of the flowers and leaves leaving about 5cm (2") below the base of the flowers heads.
2. Make a bow. To do this, cut the end of the ribbon on a slant, hold the ribbon 5cm (2") from one end in one hand and form the ribbon into a figure 8 shape with each loop measuring about 5cm (2") long. Do not cut the ribbon. Make another figure 8 behind the first one having the loops slightly longer and fanning them out to the sides with the other end of the ribbon measuring about 5cm (2") long and cut the ribbon end on a slant. Wire the bow by placing the centre of a 22 gauge wire across the centre and bring the two wire ends down together. Twist one wire tightly twice around the other wire.
3. Tie a piece of ribbon around the bunnies neck and glue a ranunculus flower head and a leaf in the centre.
4. Glue a spray of flowers and a leaf between the bunnies paws and glue him on the centre of the wreath.
5. Position flowers and leaves to sit attractively on the bottom of the wreath base and glue each one in place with a hot glue gun.
6. Cut the stems completely off some of the small blossoms and glue the flower heads flat against the top of the wreath base.
7. Glue the ribbon bows in between the flowers.
This floral design is briefly explained. In our Floristry Diploma Course, we explain each lesson in detail with diagrams and measurements for each step and how long to cut each stem and exactly where to position each placement.
