DIY Hydrangea Wreath
Create your own Hydrangea Wreath using freshly cut, dried hydrangea blooms and a wreath frame.
Equipment
- 1 Pruning Shears
- 1 Wire Cutter
Ingredients
- 1 Spool Wire 22 Guage, can use straight pieces
- 12-20 Blooms Hydrangea Stems Amount depends on the size and fullness of your blooms
- 1 Frame Wreath frame may use metal or another wreath base such as a grapevine wreath. I used an 18" base.
Instructions
- Cut 12-20 Hydrangea Blooms using pruning shears, taking care not to disrupt new growth
- Place wreath frame on a flat surface and place blooms on wreath base to determine look of the end product.
- Remove the blooms from the frame and keep in order chosen in last step.
- Cut 8-10 inches of wire.
- Place first Hydrangea bloom on the wreath frame.
- Fold the wire in half and bind the bloom to the wreath frame. Start by twisting the two ends of the wire together 2-3 times, then pull both ends of the wire together and twist the wires like a crank to tighten them on the bloom. Secure the wire in at least two places along the stem.
- Continue adding blooms and repeating steps 5 and 6 until all blooms are on the wreath.
