Step-by-Step Instructions
The wreath with dried flowers can be crafted in just a few minutes without any major DIY skills:
- Cut the twine to the desired length based on the size of the frame.
- Now attach one end of the twine to one side of the ring, approximately in the middle. For a wooden or embroidery hoop, it’s a good idea to secure the end with a bit of glue.
- Then, lead the twine to the opposite side of the ring and wrap it tightly around the frame. Repeat this step as often as desired until the twine is used up and several strands are parallel on the ring.
- Secure the end of the twine on one side of the ring and trim the end as needed with scissors.
- Now, insert the grasses and dried flowers between the individual strands as desired.
- Finally, add a hanger to the wreath. To do this, attach another piece of twine (or optionally a decorative ribbon) with a loop to the ring.
