A coral spring wreath

Supplies needed:

• burlap ribbon 5.5"

• floral foam wreath 14"

• peony

• hydrangea

• gerbera daisy

• lily

• jonquil

• cream cotton lace 3"

• light coral filigree 1.5"x 144"'

• sheer coral 7/8" x 144"

• burlap twine 3"

• scissors

• pliers

• wire cutters

• floral wire

• floral pins

Begin the coral spring wreath by pinning the 5.5" burlap to the wreath with two pins. Wrapping it around until it is covered evenly with the burlap. Pin the ends of the burlap with two floral pins. Those same two pins will pin the beginning and the end of the 3" cream cotton lace. Wrap the cream cotton lace showing 2" of burlap between each wrap of cream cotton lace.

Take three peonies cut to 3" pin them in the wreath approximately 3" apart. Pin one lily, one hydrangea, one daisy on both sides of the center peony.

Pin five jonquils divided three and two on the outside of the two outer peonies. Take the narrow coral ribbon on top of the wider coral ribbon and make the bow by looping and twisting to keep the top of the ribbons to the outside of the bow making five loops with tails of ribbon on each end. Place floral wire around the center of the loops with the tails on each side of the wire. Twist with pliers the wire till it is tight and holds the ribbon. Then wrap the floral wire around the wreath at the end of the outside peony and jonquils. Twist the floral wire tightly to hold the bow in place. Cut the two floral wires off and bend the end of the twisted wire into the wreath and tuck behind the cotton lace.

Take 3" of twine and knot each end then using two floral pins pin the twine with the knot on the outside of the pins and press into the wreath tightly wide enough for a wreath hanger to fit between.
