Instructions for an autumn wreath
Posted by Tanja Lier onAs a highlight for autumn, we love to beautify our home with dried flowers. We have tied this beautiful wreath for you as decoration inspiration - and it is wonderfully easy to imitate:
Materials:
- a bunch of gypsophila
- a bunch of poppy seed capsules
- a bunch of phalaris
- a metal ring
- a fine, golden wire for binding
- a normal pair of scissors
Tying an autumn wreath - this is how it works:
- First we lay out the metal ring with a diameter of approx. 30cm, the wire and scissors as well as the autumn flowers.
- We recommend distributing the different flowers on the table so that they can be easily separated for tying. Because the dry flowers can quickly get stuck together.
- Now we start by shortening the poppy seed capsules and phalaris (see photo for length) so that they don't protrude too much on the wreath.
- First, only the poppy seed capsules and the phalaris are alternately attached to the ring on the left and right with the fine wire.
- We decided on an asymmetrical shape for the wreath, which is why we tied the flowers a little higher on one side than on the other side of the ring.
- Once the foundation has been laid with the two somewhat simpler flowers, the gypsophila can be attached as a highlight and to cover up the previously tied flower stems.
- To give the wreath a visual finishing touch, we recommend cutting off the protruding stems as much as possible so that the ends are not visible.
We hope you enjoy crafting!
