How to Make a Tulip Wreath
Supplies Needed
18-inch wire wreath form8 yards of 2-inch ribbonScissorsHot-glue gunHot glue20 bunches of mini tulipsFlorists wireWire clippers
Step-by-Step Directions
Follow these easy instructions to make your own artificial flower wreath. You should be able to complete this project in under an hour.
Step 1: Wrap Wire Frame
Step 2: Prepare the Tulip Bunches
Step 3: Layer and Secure the Tulips
When you have enough tulip bunches, lay the first bunch down on top of the area you’ve already wrapped with ribbon. Then take the remaining ribbon, wrap it around the stems, and secure it with hot glue. After the first bunch of tulips is wrapped and glued, lay the second bunch over the first, covering the exposed ribbon. Wrap the stems with ribbon and secure them with glue. Continue to layer, wrap, and glue the flowers all the way around the wreath.
Step 4: Finish Adding the Tulips
When you’ve reached the second-to-last bunch, finish wrapping the ribbon around the rest of the wreath form until it meets the starting point. Cut the ribbon and secure the ends with glue. Almost all of the wreath will be covered now, with a small portion of the wrapped form showing. Trim the last bunch of tulips so the stems are short, then tuck them under the first bunch to cover the remaining ribbon. Secure with hot glue. At this point, the wreath should be completely covered.
Step 5: Add a Wreath Hanger
When your entire artificial tulip wreath form is covered, gently lift the wreath and hold it vertically to ensure the flowers stay in place. Secure anything loose with hot glue. Make a small slit in the ribbon on the back of the wreath form. Then insert a piece of florists wire into the cut. Twist it around the exposed wire wreath form until you have a loop—this will make it easy to hang the wreath on the front door or anywhere in your house. To store your wreath, cover it with a plastic bag and hang it in the back of your closet until next year.
