Prep Time14 days
Active Time1 hour
Total Time14 days 1 hour

Equipment

  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Scissors or garden shears

Materials

  • Grapevine wreath
  • Dried Peonies

Instructions

  • Cut peony flowers with a long stem.
  • Swish the heads in a bowl of water to remove ants and other insects.
  • Group a few together in bunches using a rubber band near the bottom.
  • Hang the bunches somewhere cold, dark, and dry.
  • Once dry, cut off the blooms and use a glue gun to glue the flower heads to a grapevine wreath.
  • Start by gluing the larger flowers spaced out around the wreath.
  • Then fill in with medium size flowers.
  • Finish with the smallest flowers, dried leaves, and dried flower buds.

Notes

You can use some polyurethane to protect your wreath or some say aerosol hairspray will do the trick.
If you find any petals that have dropped, save them for some homemade potpourri or sachets.
If you don't grow your own peonies but love the idea of a floral wreath try asking your local florist for some.
