Try it at home! How to Make a Spring Wreath
Have a go at making this gorgeous rustic rattan Spring wreath by using our new for Spring Artificial Floral Sprays and Artificial Daffodils.
Breathe new life into a room or a door with this gloriously vibrant and folky design – it’s unbelievably easy to make!
You Will Need: Rattan Wreath, Artificial Daffodils, Artificial Floral Spray, Ribbon, Wire Cutters
Craft Essentials: Scissors
How to Make
1. Prepare flowers by pulling apart Artificial spray and cutting each sprig using wire cutters.
Top Tip! Ensure that you leave a good amount of wire beneath each sprig to allow the easy wrapping around the Rattan Wreath
2. Begin placing the sprigs into the Rattan wreath, weaving them through to the back and securing by wrapping around the tangles of the grapevine. It may help to lay out the design beforehand so you have a good idea of where each flower is going to be placed.
3. Add in your daffodils as the focal point of the wreath – we have added ours separately to the rest of the flowers.
4. Cut and tie a piece of ribbon to the wreath to allow it to be easily hung anywhere.
