Use the foam saw and cut out 1/3 of the wreath.

Using floral pins start wrapping and folding burlap onto the wreath 1/3.

Finish the other end by folding, the edges under and adding more floral pins.

Begin cutting flower stems with a wire cutter.

Start with the peony, place the stem at an angle in the foam. Place the lily above and to the right of the peony. Add two stems of the hot pink flowers to the right under the lily, and a little to the lower side of the lily. Add a stem of the small white flowers just above the hot pink flower clusters under the lily.

Add three stems of the hot pink cluster flowers to the left and behind the peony. Add one white flower cluster between the hot pink flower clusters on the left behind the peony and one of the white flower clusters above the hot pink flower clusters and behind the peony.

Start wrapping and twisting the two ribbons into the loops for the bow. Doing this by stacking the ribbons, narrow sheer ribbon on top of the cotton cream lace 3" ribbon.

When four loops are on both sides of the bow with tails of both ribbons on each side of the bow, place a floral wire in the middle of the loops to form the bow. Wrap and twist the wire around the loops.

Then use the ends of the floral wire to attach the bow onto the left side of the wreath. Then tighten by twisting the wire on the back of the wreath to secure the bow. Lastly, trim the excess floral wire.

Attach the wreath to the sentiment sign twine.

Do a double strand of twine with a knot on both ends of the twine. Then attach with floral pins with the knots being to the outside of the floral pin.
