\nI might have just a few dried flowers around the house<\/div>\n
\nand sometimes, <\/div>\n
\nthose flowers dry so perfectly that they are like a work of art.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nLayer upon layer of paper thin petals curled just exactly as they opened<\/div>\n
\nthat become perfectly frozen in time.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nOf course, not all flowers dry perfectly-<\/div>\n
\n many times, they simply just dry and fall apart<\/div>\n
\nbut when they do <\/div>\n
\n what do you do with them?<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI was looking for something for an inspired romantic garden fairy <\/div>\n
\ntype photo shoot and so, a simple sweet dried flower wreath was perfect.<\/div>\n
\nOne of my favorite flowers to use for a project like this are<\/div>\n
\nspray roses.<\/div>\n
\n Since they are small<\/div>\n
\n they tend to dry really well and they group together beautifully.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis wreath has several different spray roses – from larger more garden type rose variety<\/div>\n
\nto the little rose bud variety that you usually find in the store.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nThis wreath is fairly small- because of the amount of roses<\/div>\n
\nthat I was working with and because of where I intended to use it- <\/div>\n
\nbut you can make it whatever size and shape you would like to <\/div>\n
\nand if you have a ton of dried flowers- you can load it up.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\nHere’s what you need:<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nDried flowers<\/div>\n
\nwire for a frame – or a wreath, frame, etc.<\/div>\n
\nhot glue gun & glue<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nShape your wire to the size you would like and secure it by twisting the wire together.<\/div>\n
\n(I used a tinsel wire because this wreath needed to be able to be conformed to a couple of different size\/shapes for the photos.)<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n Clip the dried stems off of the flowers so that you have mostly just a the flower head itself.<\/div>\n
\nYou can leave a touch of the stem- especially if it is running the right way<\/div>\n
\n (like the flower head drooped a bit and then dried) <\/div>\n
\n but don’t leave too much or you might see it popping out.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI start with the larger blooms to lay a base for the wreath.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHot glue each flower head to the frame.
\nMake sure to hold it in place for just a few seconds to ensure the whole flower sticks to the frame
\notherwise, all you will do is pull off several of those paper thin petals
\nwhen the flower falls off.
\nDefinitely not the look you are going for.
\nContinue around the wreath frame until it is covered. <\/div>\n
\nAfter you get the larger blooms placed all the way around
\n then go back and fill in the spaces in between them
\nwith the smaller blooms.
\nI also like to use the buds that didn’t really open here and there as well.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nKeep adding until you are happy with how full the wreath is, <\/div>\n
\ntie a pretty ribbon on it and voila!<\/i><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nA perfect little wreath for a cupboard door
\nor old shutter on a window<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nor to place on a favorite statue.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nSimple, sweet, charming<\/div>\n
\n and you can make it in just about 15 minutes<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHappy Tuesday that feels like a Monday this week
