We have attached a copy of our wreath making instructions at the bottom of this page as a courtesy
to you. Please scroll down to view. These instructions give you an idea of what is entailed in the wreath making process. Feel
free to copy the instructions. We are using our crimped wreath ring as an example but
any wreath ring shape can be made using these instructions.
Wreath Making Instructions
Insure you have all necessary items to start your project:
One Wreath Form
One Spool Green or Bright Floral Wreath Wire
Any material you wish to use to make your wreath
Find a work area to complete your wreath making project. (Shop work bench, kitchen table, etc.)
Set your wreath making material and wire wreath ring on table.
Take spool of wreath wire and find end of the wreath wire. (Usually secured on side of spool)
Unattach end from its secure position.
Wrap end of wreath wire on to wreath ring by going around form with wire several times.

Collect a hand full of your wreath making material. One piece placed on top of the other.

Set hand full of wreath making material on top of wreath ring where you have attached the wreath wire.

The cut end of the wreath making material should set about 2" over the wreath wire you attached to wreath ring shape.
Holding onto the wreath making material & wreath ring shape with one hand, take spool of wreath wire and wrap around the material and the wreath ring shape.
Once you have wrapped the wreath wire around the wreath ring shape at least three times, pull wreath wire tightly toward you to firmly secure the material onto wreath form.
Repeat the above procedure; taking each successive hand fulls of material and setting them on top of last set with cut ends approximately 1 ½" to 2" ahead of last set of attached material.

When you have gone completely around the wreath form and are where you started; gently lift back the first set of material you placed on wreath ring shape.
Set your last hand full of material so they tuck underneath the very first set.
Wrap the last set of material several times with wreath wire and then cut the wreath wire (cut wire off about one foot from wreath.)
Tie off wreath wire by taking end and putting it underneath wreath wire that has already been looped around wreath ring shape and wreath making material.
Tie any type of knot to secure the ending of your wreath.
CONGRATULATIONS!! You have made a single sided wreath. It is now ready for a bow and/or decorations.
