Basic materials and tools:
- plants (branch of a herringbone, cypress, boxwood, rosemary, oreogony, myrtle, eucalyptus or even parsley, dill, basil);
- the basis - a coil of wire (a cardboard circle, a wreath from a vine);
- twine (twine, braid or ribbon);
- nippers, scissors;
- glue, scotch tape.
How to Make Miniature Greenery Wreaths
Option 1, with wire Make a small circlefrom two or three turns of wire. The diameter of the wreaths in the photos is about 3 cm. Take the branches of plants, wrap them around the wire circle so as to hide it as much as possible. That is why it would be good if the wire had a green coating and was not so conspicuous. The plants can be tied to the wire in several places with green thread or use thin strips of tape. You will get such a cute miniature wreath.
The wreath can be attached directly to the leaf.cardboard, stitching it through with threads or using glue. The entire greeting card can be decorated with beads and glitter, or you can sign it beautifully and leave it in this minimalist style.
Option 2, with grapevine
Instead of wire, you can use small wreaths of tightly twisted grapevine. You can make them yourself or buy them from florists.
To the vine with green threads or wirewe tie green branches, in this case rosemary was used. Note that the layer of greenery is located on top of the vine wreath, but you can also attach rosemary or other branches to the back of the vine, especially if you plan to use the wreaths as interior decoration, for example, hanging them on a window or chandelier.
These rosemary wreaths make a decorative addition to gift wrap.
Option 3, with a cardboard circle You can use a cardboard circle as a base for the wreath. Glue small cypress branches directly to the cardboard with a glue gun.
Option 4, without a base A, you can simply roll it upwreath of green branches without any basis in the form of cardboard or wire? Yes, of course! The easiest and fastest way to make cute New Year's wreaths from greenery.
Happy Holidays!
