How to Make a Flower and Herb Wreath
This beautiful flower and herb wreath can be easily made with flowers and small bundles of herbs from your garden in less than an hour.
Yield: 1
Cost: $10-$15
Equipment
- Scissors or garden shears
- Wire Cutters
Materials
- 12- inch wreath frame grapevine wreath form or wire frame
- 20-30 gauge wire on a paddle floral supply
- bunches of fresh herbs and flowers
Instructions
- Gather bundles of plant material around three to four inches in length.
- Begin by placing one bunch at an angle on the outer part of the wreath base and attach by wrapping it with the wire paddle.
- Then add the second bunch at the opposite angle, on the inside, right next to the first bunch, and secure with the wire.
- Then add another layer of bunches below the first layer, with the second layer slightly overlapping the first.
- Continue overlapping layers from the outside inward until the wreath is covered.
- Cut the wire and secure the end to the base leaving a little extra to make a loop for hanging.
Notes
Be sure to pack the bunches in tightly as they will shrink when they dry.
Once dried you can fill in holes with more dried material, seed heads, cinnamon sticks etc.. with hot glue.
Consider making this with friends and share each other's bounty from the garden.
