How to make a Wreath - Fall Wreath

Step By Step

Things You'll Need for your Fall Wreath

• Wire Cutters
• Scissors
• Hot Glue Gun or Glue Pot
• Wood or Metal Floral Picks, or cooking skewers
• Floral Tape, Wire, & Sticks
• Grapevine Wreath Base
• Floral Foliage & Berries
• 3 medium artificial pumpkins
• Artificial Sunflowers

Fall Wreath Step One

Creating the Hanger - Wrap a piece of wire with floral tape, twist it, then insert through the grape vine. Then wrap it around the fall wreath to form a loop. Twist it tight to secure the loop in place and then remove any excess wire with the wire cutters.

Fall Wreath Step Two

Adding the Background - Using the Fall Floral Foliage, add a wreath pick to each piece using floral tape. Begin placing lengths of floral around the wreath evenly using hot glue until it covers about 80% of the grapevine. Be Careful not to burn yourself! Use as little or as much floral as you want until you achieve the desired look that you are going for.

Fall Wreath Step Three

Adding Pumpkins - Insert floral stick into pumpkin with some hot glue. Wrap sticks with floral tape to help hide them and then place pumpkins on the wreath again using hot glue. We don't want these to come off in the wind!

Fall Wreath Step Four

Add Sunflowers - We are going to fill out the rest of our wreath with Sunflowers placing them carefully around the wreath in a natural way while covering the grapevine backing. Remember to keep using floral picks and floral tape to hide the ends of the flowers. This also helps secure them into the wreath securely. try not to space them all out exactly even or this will give the wreath a very rigid feel.

Fall Wreath Final Step

Final Touches- Here at darbycreektrading.com we like to add some of our special artificial vine, just to give our wreaths that extra little touch. You also want to end by fluffing and rearranging the floral until it looks just right. Tada! A perfect wreath that will suit you both indoors and out.
