Instructions

Preparing the Base

  • Shape the Evergreen Base: Adjust the wreath frame to be more oval if desired.
  • Attach the 21-inch Mesh:
  • Scrunch the end to create a starting point.
  • Secure to the wreath frame using pipe cleaners or zip ties.
  • Measure and create 8-inch poofs around the wreath.
  • Continue layering poofs, making sure they are evenly distributed.
  • Secure the final section and trim excess mesh.

Adding Additional Mesh Layers

  • Cut the 10-inch Mesh:
  • Cut 6 strips (each 24 inches long) of both the hot pink and light pink breeze mesh.
  • Create Ruffle Bundles:
  • Curl the edges slightly, then scrunch up the middle.
  • Layer a piece of hot pink on top of a piece of light pink.
  • Attach these bundles between the poofs, filling gaps.
  • Repeat until you’ve covered the wreath evenly.
  • Making and Attaching the Bow

Choose Ribbons:

  • Cut 13-inch tails for each ribbon type.
  • Make four 8-inch loops for the base of the bow.
  • Stack and layer different ribbons in decreasing loop sizes.
  • Secure with a zip tie, ensuring the loops fan out.
  • Attach the bow at the 5 o’clock position on the wreath.

Adding Florals and Greenery

  • Prepare Florals:
  • Cut stems of 60919 greenery and pink/black floral accents into smaller pieces.
  • Trim excess wire for a clean look.
  • Attach Florals:
  • Start from the bow and work counterclockwise around the wreath.
  • Use hot glue to secure stems to the evergreen base.
  • Layer greenery and flowers to fill gaps and create texture.
  • Incorporate Silver Dollar Eucalyptus:
  • Add a few sprigs for extra depth and a natural touch.

Adding Decorative Elements

  • Mini Disco Balls or Rattan Balls:
  • Secure using floral wire or glue in clusters of three for balance.
  • Space them evenly around the wreath.
  • Optional: Whimsical Ribbon Accents:
  • Cut small ribbon strips and attach as pinwheels between florals.
  • Alternate colors and directions for a playful touch.

Final Touches

  • Fluff and adjust the mesh, ribbons, and florals to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
  • Check for gaps and fill in with additional greenery or small floral picks if needed.
  • Secure all elements tightly to prevent shifting over time.
  • Hold the wreath up and inspect from different angles to ensure a balanced look.
