This tutorial was made with a previously used grapevine wreath. So the first step was to remove all the previous pieces. This was easy to do, since the pieces were not hot-glued in.
Note: This tutorial is for a wreath to be used in my home in a stationary spot above the kitchen stove, on a brick wall. I did not use any hot glue or anything to secure the individual pieces.
If you are making this for a door, or to sell you would definitely want to use hot glue to secure your pieces.
Secure two chenille stems to the back of your sign with staples or stick on tabs. If you use staples take care that the staples don't go all the way through your sign. You can use a little piece of cardboard under the staple if needed.
Position the sign and secure with the chenille stems. You can also use floral wire instead of chenille stems.
I used the EZ Bowmaker for my bow, but you can make a free-handed bow or use a different type of bowmaker.
The bow was about 12" in diameter when finished and had two styles of ribbon. One was 2.5" and one was 1.5"
The bow was secured to the wreath using a chenille stem. Trim the tails to a desired length and dove-tail the ends or cut at an angle.
A handful of raffia was also secured to the bow with floral wire.
I like to start with the largest florals first and add in the smaller ones along with some filler like the greenery.
Again, I did not use hot glue on these florals because my wreath will be stationary and I was just making it for myself))
I used all of the Sunflower Bouquet and all of the Mini Sunflower Bush.
Curl your ribbons a bit to give them a little body and bounce. Trim the tails to the desired length and do a dovetail or angled cut on the ends.
Make a hanger for your wreath using floral wire or paper wrapped wire.
