- Before getting started, make sure you have gathered all of the necessary supplies
- Susan got started with this Wreath by first tying the bow. She made a stacked bow out of the two ribbons that had 4 loops each. She also left the tails long enough to hang down from the Wreath. She secured the bow with a Chenille Stem and then used floral wire to attach the bow to the Wreath. She placed the bow a little to the left of the center of the Wreath at the bottom.
- Once the bow was attached Susan moved on to adding the Greenery and Florals. She started with the Lamb's Ear Bush and cut each stem into individual pieces. She added these up and down the left side of the Wreath, spacing them out as she went. She used hot glue to secure each piece to the Wreath.
- Next Susan began doing the same thing with the Dogwood Bush. She cut the Bush into individual stems and then placed them throughout the Wreath.
- Then Susan began to alternate between the Lamb's Ear and the Dogwood pieces to work up to a higher spot on the Wreath. She filled in areas where she thought there were holes.
- Lastly, to add an additional contrasting Green color Susan used the Boxwood Bush. She also cut this apart into individual pieces and placed it throughout the Wreath.
- When you have finished adding all of the components you will be left with a gorgeous Spring Wreath that can be used inside or outside your home
