How To Make A Dried Flower Wreath – Our 8 Step Guide

Step 4
Then begin intertwining the singular whispier stems to the base (ensure to leave some large whispier stems for the last steps). For the more rigid ones you’ll now need to begin tightly securing them using both nimble strong fingers and the pliers. Pay special attention to secure these first stems as they will form the basis of your wreath, the beauty of this stage is you can easily undo any missteps made.

Step 5
Attach the bundles made earlier on in step 3, use the floral twine/wire and pliers if necessary to insert attach to the hoop. Make special effort to do so evenly all the way around. Keeping an even balance will mean it doesn’t appear too weighted on one side. Don’t bury your dried  flowers, nor let them splay too wildly – you’ll find your balance!

Step 6
Finesse your dried flower display with last additions of colour and texture, long and striking florals/stems look the nicest nested lastly, in many cases.

Step 7
Preserve. Read both our articles on how to dry flowers and how long do dried flowers last for tips on preservation. Our go-to is using odourless hairspray, helping to give rigidity and ultimately a longer life to your dried flower display.

Step 8
Hang and present! Use a nail or create a suspension tie from the twine. Think about the space it will occupy and play with the rotation of your dried flower wreath for personalised results. Lastly, enjoy your gorgeous new floral display!
