Instructions

Prep the Base:

  • Fluff and shape your 24” evergreen wreath to create a full foundation. Make sure branches are spread evenly to support mesh and florals.

Add Base Mesh:

  • Cut the 21” white fabric mesh into 30” ruffles and add them all around the wreath using twist ties or pipe cleaners.
  • Next, cut the 10.5” navy mesh into 18” ruffles. Alternate and layer over the white mesh to add depth.
  • Finish the base with 10” burlap mesh, cut into 10-12” pieces and add them using the same twist ties for texture.

Attach the Sign:

  • Use floral wire or mounting holes to secure the bunny sign slightly off-center or wherever you want to anchor your design.

Add Ribbon Tails and Loops:

  • Cut the 4” blue ribbon into 12-14” loops for fullness.
  • Add 2.5” French Peony and 1.5” burlap ribbon tails throughout, dovetailing ends and layering ribbons together for contrast.
  • Secure them with the existing twist ties or zip ties.

Incorporate Greenery and Florals:

  • Trim and insert stems from the eucalyptus bush, silver dollar eucalyptus, blue filler, and ombre floral bunches evenly across the wreath.
  • Use hot glue or floral picks to anchor the greenery securely. Focus heavier placement around the sign and bow.

Final Touches:

  • Fluff all ribbon tails and mesh pieces to fill any gaps.
  • Step back and check for symmetry. Adjust stems and ribbons as needed for balance.
