How to Make a Pink Peony Wreath
Spring is in the air and what better way to celebrate than by making a beautiful pink peony wreath. This wreath is perfect for Easter or any springtime event. Once you see your finished wreath you will be so happy with the way it turns out.
In this wreath tutorial, I teach you how to add size and dimension which really helps make a wreath pop off a door. In this wreath, we do that by using some picks and stems that are whimsical and also add some fun character to the wreath itself.
Lastly, we tie in some different greenery which isn’t always easy mixing your greeneries. Watch and learn as I teach you how to add the perfect greenery to make a beautiful finished Pink Peony Wreath that you will love hanging every spring.
Directions
- Place a wire hanger on the back of the grapevine wreath form
Trim down your Frost Rose Leaf Stems and separate them to start placing them in the wreath.- Work the greenery by setting out your parameter. Place one stem of greenery on the top left and then one at the bottom right. Dipping each stem in hot glue before placing. Now fill in between those two green pieces you just placed with more greenery with berries. Making the greenery with berries really pop out!
- Next, add the eucalyptus greenery into what you have already placed.
- Using only 3 of the 7 heads that come on the bush prep them to get ready for placement. I am going to pull the greenery off from the flower head. You can save these pieces to use in another wreath later. That way you don’t have to fight the greenery already placed
- Add your first flower head to the top left side. Dip the stem in hot glue first and then push it into your grapevine wreath. Then place the second one a little bit lower. You will find the perfect spot to place it in the greenery already in place on the wreath! Now for the third flower head. Let’s just add it to the greenery placed on the bottom right
- Add in the wispy pink flairs. Once you dip the stems in glue place each stem into the greenery and behind the pink flower heads placed.
- Attach bow
- Adding in some cheetah ball picks right into the bow. Spread around the stem, dip the pick into the hot glue pan, and stick right into the wreath placing it right by the bow center.
- Place a Cheetah curly pick right above the left peony flower head. Now place another cheetah curly pick on the right bottom side but have it stick straight out. Place more cheetah curly picks where you feel they are needed
- Add a third type of greenery to this wreath. Adding just a few here or there to fill the empty space to help fill in your simple farmhouse floral arrangement wreath
How to Add a Wire Hanger to a Grapevine Wreath
I am here to tell you this is not a hard step but a very important one if you wish to sell your wreaths online or at a craft show. Using a wire gauge you simply just have to thread the wire through your grapevine, sending it back around to where you started and then pulling it up as high as you wish to have your hanger go. Then twisting it to secure it together.
If you need more help I have a video tutorial on how to add a wire to a wreath form.
