Instructions

Prep Your Sign

  • Use the hole punch to make two holes in the top corners of your 10-inch metal sign.
  • Thread 22-gauge wire through the holes and attach the sign to the center of your grapevine wreath.
  • Ensure it’s snug but not too tight to leave space for other elements.

Attach the Garland

  • Begin by spreading apart the garland branches to expose the spine.
  • Use the 22-gauge wire to attach the garland to the grapevine. Secure it enough to stay in place, but leave room for inserting other items like florals and ribbon later.
  • This adds a great base layer of texture to your wreath.

Add Florals

  • Cut your 60919 floral stems into manageable pieces.
  • Add them around the wreath by gluing or wiring them into place.
  • Make sure they are evenly distributed to add fullness without overwhelming the design.

Incorporate Black Leaves

  • Take your black leaves and space them evenly throughout the wreath. These leaves will add a dramatic Halloween touch.
  • Remember to work in a balanced pattern. For example, if you have 8 leaves, place 4 on each half of the wreath to maintain symmetry.

Add Final Florals and Candy Corn Accents

  • Incorporate additional floral elements and fall accents like PIP berries or candy corn for texture and color variation.
  • These can be glued in around the wreath, ensuring you leave enough visibility for the sign.

Create and Attach the Bow

  • Use ribbon to create a simple, floppy bow with about five loops.
  • Secure the bow with wire and attach it to the wreath in a complementary spot near the sign.
  • Make sure to fluff the loops of the bow and adjust them so they look casual and elegant.

Final Adjustments

  • Once all elements are in place, do a final check to ensure everything is secured tightly.
  • Fluff and adjust the florals, ribbon, and garland to fill in any gaps and create balance.
