Wiring Flowers into Silk Flower Wreaths

Video Transcript

"Once you have taken your wreath and have kept it laying down and placed your flowers in it, what I take and do is with this wire go ahead and lightly wire them in. You take a small little piece of wire, hit it across the flower up along the wreath and the end of it you can either curl it around the edge and around a branch to look like it is part of a natural vine or just let it stick out and then I would take and hang it the way it is going to be viewed. If you don't have a nail in the wall you can use something like an easel which I have here and now you can start to see what it is actually going to look like and be viewed as. So the next step is to go ahead and wire some of these flowers in that you had down and get it up horizontally because that is the way it is going to be viewed and designed as opposed to laying it down."
