Vintage-Modern Xmas Wreath

A Vintage-Modem Xmas Wreath
...with some simple instructions.
  


Start with a simple wreath {any size}. I went
with an airy looking, long needle, evergreen wreath.
Choose your focal, your focal should be something with a large flower head or an item {flower or decorative piece} that commands your attention.
Take into consideration the quality of your materials, choosing a flower that has individually wired petals always makes the arrangement process easier. I chose a large poinsettia {white and mercury silver tone} with individually wired petals.
Add minimal accents that accent and compliment your focal.
Turn your wreath upside and lay on the floor. Using wire cutters and thin floral wire to attach you floral stems to your wreath.

Using a half piece of #20 gauge wire {floral tape it first} and attach to
wreath frame for a hanger.
{If you don't have these items on hand, an easy solution is to use a twisty tie.}




I added 3 shatterproof ornaments {an option for a indoor wreath would be antique ornaments} by using vintage velvet 1/2" ribbon giving
in that flair for the creative.




Fluff, Hang, and Enjoy.
