Limelight Hydrangea Wreaths
Learn how to make full and lush limelight hydrangea wreaths in about an hour with this easy tutorial.
Yield: 1
Cost: $20
Equipment
- Scissors/pruners
Materials
- Cut Limelight Flowers
- 14 inch - wire wreath frame
- florist paddle wire
Instructions
- Cut many flowers from your Limelight hydrangea shrub.
- Attach a paddle of wire to a wreath frame.
- Place the flowers, (remove the larger leaves first) on an angle towards the outside and wrap the wire around the stem, and frame about three times.
- Place the next flower on a slight angle on the inside of the first one, and attach by wrapping more wire, and pulling the paddle tight.
- Continue until you complete the wreath.
- Before you cut the wire paddle give yourself extra wire to weave around the frame to make sure it's secure and possibly create a loop for hanging. However, you should be able to hang the wreath from the wire base right on a hook or nail.
Notes
Towards the end, you may need to push back the flowers and work the paddle around until it's finished.
Give yourself a little extra wire when cutting it off the paddle, so that you can weave it in and out of the wire base to secure it in place.
