How to Make a Tulip Wreath
Wrap Wire Frame
Since faux bloom can become heavy when they ’re layered , start this project with a wreath form that ’s lightweight but supportive . We used an 18 - column inch wire wreath form that measure about three in wide all the way around . train that the chaplet ’s surface is wide enough to affirm Ralph Bunche of tulips — this is when a thinner wreath form , like a wood embellishment hoop , wo n’t ferment .
To get started , wrap a 7 - column inch incision of the wreath variety with a 2- or 1½-inch - wide decoration . We used pink , but you’re able to utilise any color you like . As you wrap , secure the ribbon with a live glue hired gun , but do n’t trim the end — you’ll be incessantly wrapping the wreath form and artificial blossom as you go .
Prepare the Tulip Bunches
To cover an 18 - in wreath , you ’ll ask about 20 bunches of mini tulips . We purchased our pre - bundled bunches at a crafts store . If you ca n’t line up bunch ( or if it ’s cheaper to buy radical individually ) , you’re able to make your own tulip bunches by gathering several bow and using florist wire to batten down them together . Before you start , lay the Bunche over the top of your wreath form to assure you have enough to cover the wreath form completely .
Layer and Secure the Tulips
When you have enough tulip crowd , lie the first clump down on top of the area you ’ve already wrapped with ribbon . Then , wrap the stay typewriter ribbon around the root and fasten it with spicy glue . After the first clump of tulips is wind and glued , lay the 2d crowd over the first , cover the expose typewriter ribbon . wrap up the stems with medallion and secure them with glue . go forward to layer , wrapping , and glue the flowers around the coronal .
Finish Adding the Tulips
When you ’ve reached the second - to - last bunch , culture wrapping the ribbon around therest of the chaplet formuntil it meets the starting point . Cut the medallion and secure the ends with glue . Almost all of the wreath will be continue now , with a small portion of the wrapped form show . Trim the last bunch of tulip so the stems are short , then gather them under the first lot to underwrite the stay palm . unassailable with live mucilage . At this point , the coronal should be completely cover .
Add a Wreath Hanger
When your entire artificial tulip wreath form is cut across , gently lift the wreath and hold it vertically to ensure the flower stay in place . Secure anything loose with hot glue . Make a lowly snatch in the ribbon on the back of the wreath manikin . Then , insert a piece of florist wire into the cut . Twist it around the exposed conducting wire wreath form until you have a eyelet — this will make it easy tohang the wreathon the front door or anywhere in your house .
To put in your wreath , cover it with a plastic dish and hang it in the back of your loo until next year .
