- Before getting started, make sure you have gathered all of the necessary supplies
- Tim started this Wreath by adding the Louisiana sign to the middle of the Wreath. He did that by clipping the twine hanger in the middle and then tying it to the metal frame of the Wreath from the bottom side.
- Next Tim added the Mardi Gras Crawfish to the bottom right hand side of the Wreath. He secured it using floral wire and tied it around the metal frame of the Wreath.
- After the Crawfish had been added, Tim moved on to adding the Crawfish Mardi Gras & Mardi Gras Striped Ribbon throughout the Wreath. He started on the side by the Crawfish and then created loops around the Wreath. He also added small 2 loop bows to each spot where the loop was tied to the Wreath. He left small tails on each bow. Tim also tied a 3 loop bow using both ribbons to anchor the Wreath on the left hand side next to the Mardi Gras Crawfish.
- Next Tim cut the Magnolia Pick into multiple sections and added them to the perimeter of the Wreath.
- Tim then continued to add the rest of the Mardi Gras Florals to the Wreath. He started by separating the Mardi Gras Wind Sprays into multiple sections and adding them throughout the Wreath.
- To finish off the Wreath Tim added both the Curly Sprays and the Glittered Tubing Spray. He cut these into multiple sections and placed them throughout the Wreath using Hot Glue to secure each piece.
- When you have finished adding all of the components you will have a festive Wreath to use throughout the Mardi Gras season. Laissez les bon temps rouler!
