Find the thickest stem in one set of florals and attach the bottom stem of a second set to it using your floral wire. Next, attach more floral wire about every 3” or so to ensure it stays together as you form them into a circle.

Tip:

Step 5

When you’ve finished forming your circle it will look like the above photo with random flowers hanging off. Clean it up a little by “pinning” those flowers to the circle using your floral wire.

Step 6

Next, begin adding in your remaining floral stems to fill out the rest of your wreath. Use the existing attached floral wire to secure and only add more wire where needed.
