As part of artificial jewelry, anything can be: ribbons, ready-made flowers and inflorescences, pearls, rhinestones, ribbons. The main thing is that the material suits the bride and harmonizes with her image.

How to do it yourself

For work you will need:

• thin wire (ideal diameter - 3 mm);
• satin ribbon of the desired shade or floristic ribbon (teip tape) of green color;
• scissors or nippers;
• artificial flowers from various materials;
• decor (rhinestones, ribbons, beads and everything that the imagination tells);
• glue gun.

So, all materials are prepared. Now we will tell you how to make a wedding wreath. To do this, cut off the required amount of wire with wire cutters or scissors. The length of the wire should be more than the circumference of the head by a couple of centimeters. Then the ends of the wire must be connected. The junction and the entire frame of the wreath is decorated with a ribbon. The base for the wreath is ready.

Next, you can proceed to the decor. First, large elements of the future decoration are attached to the frame with a thin wire, then smaller details are added. If flowers with long stems are used when creating a wreath, it is advisable to cut them off, leaving about five centimeters from the bud. You need to attach large flowers alternately, wrapping their stems in one direction and wrapping them with tape.

Since the material is artificial, it is not afraid of hot glue. Therefore, using a glue gun, you can securely fix various decorative elements, making it even more reliable and durable.
