"The next thing you need to know is some of the tools you'll, you'll be using for when you're making your wreath. We use a wire cutter for the wire and flowers that we're going be using. Needle nose pliers, if you need to get in there and tighten up anything on to the wreath; a heavier gage cutter for the thicker flowers. You can get a non wrapped floral tape gage wire that you can buy at any hard, craft store. I also like to use Oasis paper wrapped wire, if you are using this, make sure you pull it from the center so you can continue using it, if not, it creates a big mess if you pull it out at the top. Whatever you prefer, whether it be a glue gun with glue sticks, or you could use a Lumi or some kind of floral glue. Again you could buy at your hardware store. I also like to make sure that I have my old paintbrush around, so that if I have any strings or anything to pull off. A good pair of scissors are always helpful for whenever you're cutting the bows, as well as the different types of ribbons that you may want to use, for in your, for making your wreath. So, these are the tools that you would need in order to make your wreath."
