Prepare the Wreath Frame:
Take the 14-inch pancake frame.
Attach pipe cleaners by twisting them through the center and outer holes of the frame. You’ll need 6 inside and 6 outside pipe cleaners (12 total).
Cut the Mesh:
Cut your mesh into 17-inch pieces. You’ll need 12 pieces in total.
If the mesh has a line marking the center, use it as a guide to scrunch. If not, fold and pinch down the middle.
Attach the Mesh:
Start with the outer row of pipe cleaners. Place the gathered center of a mesh piece into the pipe cleaner, twist it tight, and spread the mesh to create a "petal" effect.
Repeat for all 6 outer pipe cleaners.
Move to the inner row and repeat the same process, overlapping slightly to cover the "guts" of the outer row.
Prepare the Floral Bundles:
Take your spring mix (60919) and cut stems into smaller sections. Each stem should have a mix of greenery and flowers.
Add berries to the bundle for extra dimension.
Zip tie each bundle together for security.
Attach Floral Bundles to the Frame:
Secure each floral bundle to the frame using the pipe cleaners already attached to the mesh.
Spread out the greenery and flowers for even coverage.
Attach the Sign:
Glue cable mounts to the back of your spring sign using super glue or E6000. Allow it to dry.
Thread pipe cleaners through the cable mounts and attach the sign to the center of the wreath. Twist tightly and trim excess pipe cleaner.
Add a Hanger:
Use a pipe cleaner to create a loop at the top of the frame for hanging.
Final Touches:
Fluff up the greenery, mesh, and floral bundles to ensure even coverage.
Check for any visible pipe cleaners or gaps and adjust as needed.
