Homemade flower garlands make festive party decorations.

Flower garlands are a simple craft to add creative flourish to a party, outdoor dinner or wedding reception. Smaller garlands can even be worn around the neck in a fashion similar to the Hawaiian lei. Does this Spark an idea?

  1. Supplies

    • For making large, decorative garlands, the following supplies are necessary: artificial flowers, 18-gauge floral wire, wire cutters, scissors and ribbon. To make lei-style garlands, gather artificial flowers, thread and a sewing needle. Choose flowers that easily separate from the stems.

    Procedure

    • To make a large, decorative garland, begin by cutting the wire to the desired length and twisting a loop in the bottom. Push flowers onto the wire strand to create a string of flowers. Secure with a loop at the other end. Cover the ends with ribbon. For a lei style, the procedure is the same, only flowers are threaded on thread instead of wire. For a red and white design, choose several shades and shapes to create a rich design.

    Decorating Ideas

    • Handmade flower garlands can be used to decorate a wide array of space. Hang from a pergola or trees for a festive garden party. Use to adorn banisters and mantles for the holiday season. Drape from the ceiling for a wedding reception.
