What is required to weave a flower wreath?
It is not difficult to master the technique of weaving a wreath from artificial flowers. First, you need to prepare the necessary materials such as: artificial flowers, floral wire, satin ribbons, tape tape, silicone glue. And of course, you can't do without a heat gun, nippers and scissors in your work.
The main stages of creating a wreath
First of all, you need to make a frame for a wreath from floral wire. For tightness, connect three or four pieces of wire and wrap them with special tape. Then try the frame on your head, it should be a little too big.
Carefully cut the artificial flowers from the twigs with wire cutters. In this case, you should have a stem up to 5 centimeters long. It is recommended to prepare in advance the flowers necessary for weaving a wreath. It's just that in the process it is better not to be distracted by cutting a new batch of flowers.
Start at the front of the wreath. Apply one flower to the frame and secure with tape. If you want the flowers to stay securely in the wreath, attach them with one large piece of tape, not several small ones. Gradually fill half of the frame from one flower to the next. The first part of the wreath is ready.
Now you can start weaving the second half of the product. Please note that the flowers in the second half of the wreath should "look" in the opposite direction. As a result, it turns out that the color heads of the two halves of the frame will be located opposite each other. As for the back of the frame, it should not be filled by about 6-7 centimeters. This space must be left free for the satin ribbons to be attached. After the frame is completely filled, it is necessary to tap the rest of it in two layers.
In the next step, cut a 1-meter piece from ribbons of different colors. It is best to use red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple ribbons. Of course, ideally, you need to take 6 tapes, each of which will be two and a half centimeters wide. Then you need to glue the central part of each tape to the frame. You can use silicone glue for this. Remember to heat the edges of the tape so they don't fray. The wreath of artificial flowers is ready. By the same principle, you can weave a wreath of fresh flowers. Only the flowers will have to be taped beforehand.
