making a wreath.
April 22, 2009
How about making a wreath today? I put some pictures with instructions up here to make your own. It's very simple and it looks like the one you can get from a store but this one was made almost for free. The material we need is floral wire, wire cutters, couple twigs from the garden and pliers to cut the twigs. Let's do this! | Čo tak si spraviť vlastný veniec? Dala som sem malý návod ako si jeden spraviť. Je to veľmi jednoduché a na rozdiel od tých kupovaných tento veniec skoro nič nestojí len trocha námahy. Materiál ktorí potrebujeme je floristický drôtik ale hocijaký mäkší drôt bude fungovať, nožnice na drôt, niekoľko konárikov zo záhrady a záhrádne nožnice na strihanie. Tak len do toho!
First, pick a thicker twig - this will be your base. Cut a small piece of wire and tide the small circle made out of the twig ...
... continue to wrap the end of the twig around the thick base ...
... take additional twigs and continue to wrap them all around the circle ...
... continue until you are happy with the size of the wreath...
... to make the wrapping easier, you can put the twigs into the water for a while to make them more flexible before using them ...
... on the end, tuck all the little pieces nicely to make it smooth ...
... and, here is the final product. So, wasn't it easy!?!?
You can use additional material to decorate it. I used this heart I made a while ago out of coconut treads and red floral wire. But later about that:)
Hope you enjoyed my little instructions. Have a great wreath making!
