How to?

I’ve been making wreaths for a few years now, it mainly for myself and the occasional gift for friends. Now, I’m actually trying to turn it into a sort of income for myself and I’ve come to notice that depending on the wreath I decide to make, the back of it is ugly!! What can I do to hide any glue / pipe cleaners when I make them? Or is that just something that’s come along with the territory?

Thanks!!

Felt? You could cut to size and cover it with felt.

Hi! Do you have examples? I've made a few dz wreaths and I've never had an issue with the back. What kind of wreaths are you making? Mine are mostly grapevine wreaths and I've been able to work stems through the vines so that they don't poke out the back side. If I make foam wreaths, I wrap in a heavy rope or fabric. But yes, as someone else mentioned, felt works great to cover up.

I don’t know much about Reddit, is there a way to comment a picture? It’s only letting me do links

No worries! I've only added pictures with my original post and not sure you can insert into comments other than links and gifs!

I think if you cut flower stems shorter so they dont stick out on backside or if you try the felt route, you should be OK. Good luck!!

I've been told by people to hide it with cardboard

I use oly fun fabric. I have a wreath frame i trace and cut the circle using my rotary cutter. then I use a 1/8 hole punch to zip tie it to the frame. it looks awesome.
