How to Make a Table Wreath

Use a table wreath to surround a dessert or a set of scented candles.

In addition to providing a warm welcome to guests when hanging on front doors, wreaths make long-lasting and versatile centerpieces for dinner tables and end tables during the holidays or for seasonal decor. A table wreath usually has a flat side so that it sits flush with the table and is smaller in circumference than door wreaths to allow for more room at the table. Make your own table wreath with a simple process and inexpensive supplies to decorate your dinner table with greenery or flowers.

Things You'll Need

• Foam wreath base
• Artificial floral and greenery sprigs
• Wire cutter or scissors
• Hot glue gun

Instructions

1. Lay a foam wreath base flat on a table and arrange sprigs of flowers and greenery over the base until you are satisfied with the look of the arrangement. Try using a thick layer of greenery and a few strategically placed blossoms of your favorite variety.

2. Poke the stem ends of the pieces of greenery and flowers into the foam base the same way you arranged them the first time.

3. Heat a hot glue gun on low heat until the glue melts.

4. Remove each piece of foliage and flowers one at a time and apply a dot of hot glue to the end of each. Poke them back into the holes in the wreath base. The glue will hold them more securely.
