Why Floral DIY?

Flowers are more than just pretty — they’re mood boosters, memory makers, and a way to connect with nature. Our DIYs let you:

• Extend the life of your blooms (hello, dried flower crafts!)

• Add a personal touch to your gifts or home

• Enjoy flower power beyond the bouquet

• Create unforgettable seasonal decor

Dried Flower Wreath (Intermediate)

What You’ll Need:

• A wreath base (grapevine, wire hoop, or foam ring)

• Dried flowers (lavender, statice, baby’s breath, strawflower, eucalyptus, etc.)

• Floral wire

• Floral tape or hot glue gun

• Scissors or wire cutters

• Ribbon for hanging (optional)

Step-by-Step:

1. Plan Your Design:
   Lay out your dried flowers in small bundles. You can stick to a color scheme or go wild with texture and variety.

2. Bundle the Flowers:
   Create mini bunches of 3–5 stems. Wrap the base of each bunch with floral tape or wire.

3. Attach to Wreath Base:
   Starting at one section of the wreath, secure each bundle using floral wire, layering them slightly to hide stems.

4. Continue Around:
   Work clockwise around the wreath, overlapping bundles to create fullness and flow.

5. Secure the End:
   Tuck your last bundle under the first to create a seamless look. Secure with extra wire if needed.

6. Finishing Touch:
   Add ribbon for hanging or a bow if you’d like. Display your wreath indoors or in a dry, covered space.
