Summer Floral Wreath

This summer floral wreath project will have you whipping up an outdoor masterpiece in no time at all. It doesn’t matter if you are a first-time wreath maker or have been doing it for years. We’ll walk through the steps together so you know exactly how I created this beautiful wreath. Grab your supplies and let’s get started.
With this design, I really wanted to make sure the greenery and stems truly stood off the wreath form. I decided that I wanted to add some dimension to this wreath and knew a great way to do just that. That is why I picked out wired picks and stems to work with. When using greenery and florals that are wired it really allowed me to make that height I was looking for.

Ingredients
Directions
- Start by adding in your Eucalyptus greenery. Placing it equally spaced out around the right side of your grapevine. Dipping the end of your stem into your glue pot and push into the wreath so that it will stay. Applying moss where the hot glue sticks to the wreath.
- Now add in your long seemed sunflowers. I trimmed these down just a little because I want them to really standoff of this wreath to give it that dept I am aiming for. I mainly placed these right around where the eucalyptus greenery was placed.
- Placing Yellow Back Sia Stem one at the top right in between two sunflowers and the second one right in the bottom center of your wreath.
- Let’s add some purple to this wreath. Using greenery that has purple let’s start placing them around the sunflowers that we placed early. Really working that greenery into the wreath form using hot glue on the ends of each stem. Don’t forget to add your moss over the hot glue that sticks to the wreath.
- Using purple hydrangeas place these starting at the top left, working them down your wreath on the right side. Once you have placed your purple hydrangeas go back and use purple sweet pea greenery and add it to give your wreath some more purple colors and have them literally sticking straight up.
- With your fuzzy vine twigs attach it to your wreath with a zip tie under your top left sunflower. Cut the excess of your zip tie once you have it in there tight. Then take the hanging part of your fuzzy vine twig and weave it through the top of your placed flowers working it down towards the left side. Bringing it down around making a little twist. Once you have it placed zip tie the end to the wreath to really help hold that in place.
- Repeat the same step with your second fuzzy vine twig this time placing it where the last one ended and twisting it down the bottom of your wreath.
- Let’s add in some fun yellow berries now! I am just going to work these naturally in the space on the left side. Dipping the end of each stem into the hot glue and pushing it into the inside and outside of the wreath base. This is really what I am using to fill in any holes and empty spaces I find while finishing up this creation.

Ingredients
Directions
- Start by finding cutting the styrofoam so it is nestled inside of the Green Frankenstein Bucket so that it sits nicely inside and glue down. I like to use both Gorilla Glue and Hot Glue to really secure it for both now and long term.
- Cut Black Garland Base into small sections and set your base, spreading for maximum coverage.
- Prep your picks by grabbing your Purple Green Orange Felt Ball Twig Sprays. Sseparating them into smaller picks. You can also twist the black chenille around your finger to create a fun effect.
- Trim your Glitter Eye Ball Picks and add to the stryofoam. Be sure to space them for the best visual display.
- Cut and prep the White Black Chenille Curly Stems add some dimension to them by curling with your fingers to really give them life.
- Stem back and look at your your centerpiece. Are thier bald or blank spaces? Fluff you black garland to fill and use the wires in your products from Keleas.com to really get the pieces where you want them.
- Grab one of your Glitter Curly Velvet Ball Picks and trim the stem down to a couple of inches. Fluff out your pick, and then place it to the left of your bow, tucking it behind the bow to have it peek out from behind it.
