Tutorial: Flower Girl Wreath

I thought I'd share with you how I made the flower girl wreaths for my daughters.
It's fast, easy, and I used stuff I got from the dollar store.
It's kind of hard to see in this photo, but hopefully, I will be getting some great action shots at the wedding this evening!


What you need:

Craft flowers
Grosgrain ribbon - about 2 meters.
Wire - I used rubberized garden wire. People will tell you to use flower wire. I say, use what you have on hand

You will also need:
Opaque Ribbon - to wrap and disguise wire
Craft glue

1) Measure size of the head, and use the wire to create a loop that will fit comfortably on her head
2) Attach flowers on the wire. You can secure with tape, but I did not. Just wind it tightly and you'll be OK.
This is what you'll get:
4) Now wind the opaque ribbon to hide the wire. Use the glue to help secure the ribbon.
5) Leave about 0.7 meters of the grosgrain ribbon hanging off the back end of the wreath, and start winding the ribbon.
6) When you are done winding, tie the ribbon in a pretty bow. That is it!
Wasn't that simple? I like mine simple, but it is easy enough to add ivy and more flowers to taste.
