Nothing decorates a girl like natural freshness and unique colors of fresh flowers. Since ancient times, beautiful girls have used wreaths woven from flowers as an addition to their costume. In the old days, brides walked down the aisle, decorated with this, especially touching and symbolic accessory. And nowadays flower wreaths are quite popular, especially in wedding fashion. A professionally made wreath can be ordered at any floristic studio, however, you can make a wreath with your own hands just as well.
Necessary
- - wire (1.0-1.2 mm);
- - white tape;
- - two types of flowers (medium-sized rosebuds, dendrobium orchids);
- - small greens asparagus, boxwood, ruscus;
- - white satin ribbon.
Instructions
Step 1
Measure the circumference of the head of the person for whom the wreath is being made. If this is not possible, then make a wreath in the form of an open ring with ribbon ties. Such an addition will not only not spoil, but, on the contrary, will give the wreath even more charm.
Step 2
Measure a piece of wire equal to the circumference of the head plus 4-6 cm to connect the ends and obtain a closed ring. Cut off one or two more of these to make a ring of two or three wires folded together. The more massive the flowers and additional elements of the wreath, the stronger the wreath design should be.
Step 3
Wrap the wire tightly (while it is not bent) with white tape. This slightly sticky tape, used by florists to make various flower accessories, is sold in any florist shop. Close the ends of the wire and secure them by wrapping one end around the other several times. The circumference of the wreath should be equal to the circumference of the head.
Step 4
In the case of making an open wreath, measure the wire with a length equal to twice or three times the circumference of the head - depending on the estimated mass of the accessory. Wrap the wire with tape and fold it so that you get a segment equal to the standard head circumference (for size M - 57-58 cm, for size S - 55-56 cm).
Step 5
At the ends of the open wreath, bend the folds of the wire slightly to form the loops for attaching the ribbons. Thread white satin ribbons 1 cm wide through these loops and tie them to the frame of the wreath.
Step 6
Attach a small bunch of decorative greenery to the ends of the wreath (or its back). Carefully rewind the stalks of the bundles with tape and secure with a thin decorative wire for strength.
Step 7
Attach the white roses cut close to the head to the wreath, evenly distributing them around the entire circumference. For the front of the wreath, choose flowers with more open petals, and towards the back, use the buds. Place 5-6 orchid flowers between the roses.
Step 8
Carefully remove the wire frame from under the flowers so that the sequence of flowers you have built is preserved. Start attaching the wreath elements to the frame with tape and wire, alternating between the two types of flowers and bunches of greenery. Place only the sprigs of greenery on the inside of the wreath. Place the roses not in the same plane, but turn them slightly at different angles to the wire frame so that they look natural and the wreath is more voluminous.
