- Before getting started make sure you have gathered all of the necessary supplies.
- Susan started this Wreath by first adding the Patriotic Sign to the Wreath. She used the rope hanger to tie the sign to Wreath with a piece of floral wire. She also used a bit of hot glue on the bottom of the sign to secure the bottom portion to the Wreath.
- Once the sign was added Susan began tying the layered, stacked bow for the Wreath. She started with a one loop of the striped ribbon and then added an additional loop of each of the other ribbons. She also layered individual pieces of ribbon tails in the bow as well. She left the tails longer so that they would hang down the Wreath. She secured the bow with floral wire and then used that same wire to attach the bow to the Wreath.
- Once the bow was added to the Wreath Susan moved onto creating a base of Greenery on the Wreath. She cut the Ficus Bush into multiple individual sections and added them to the Wreath using Hot Glue on the end of each piece. She worked in and around the bow; then she added the pieces up the left hand side of the Wreath.
- Next Susan began adding the Poppy and Dahlia stems to the Wreath. She trimmed the majority of the length off of each stem and then added them to the left hand side of the Wreath. She stair stepped them up the Wreath to spread out their placement. She used Hot Glue on the end of each stem to help secure the pieces.
- Then Susan began to fill in any holes with the Blue Baby Cosmos and the Lamb's Ear. She cut both into multiple sections and then distributed them throughout the Wreath.
- Susan came to a stopping point once all of the florals and greenery had been added. When finished you will have a gorgeous Patriotic Wreath to use throughout the Summer holidays.
