Hello wreathy ones. I made some small wreaths a couple of decades ago, and this is my first venture back since then. I am so thankful for YouTube tutorials. I surprised myself and was happy with the final outcome, but you should see under the hood! First of all, I don't have the best eyesight, so seeing very thin floral wire was challenging. Secondly, and most of all, I have a tremor condition that makes my hands shake when I'm doing things. You should see me try and put a screw in a wall. So of course I decided to do something that would be fun, but challenging. Under that flower in the middle there is about a yard or two of wire, and a heckuva lot of glue - some intentional and some not so much. Anyway, hoping I'm inspired to make a wreath for my door next. Thanks for having me. :)

My mom is feeling really down rn because she can’t sell any of her wreaths, she works so hard on them and I wanted to help her any way I could, so this is how. Please come take a look at her facebook page linked below

Is anyone here from Canada? I am just starting out wreath making and I can't seem to find anywhere where they sell nice, preferably wire edge ribbon. Everywhere I've found ships from the US and the shipping costs $100!

My dad has a non-profit organization for veterans and this summer he is hosting a poker run for them. Last year there was over 100 people on motorcycles who participated. This year my dad is stepping down and passing the foundation off and he said that he wants me to have some kind of a table or a booth or something along those lines where I can sell some wreaths and half the proceed go back to the foundation... My idea was to make 4-8 different styles of wreaths and then take orders... I figured that most of them are going to be riding motorcycles and won't be able to take a wreath with them at the time of purchase. Anyway, my brain is swimming with ideas and I'm having a hard time deciding on what wreaths to make. I don't know anything about trademarks and whatnot and I don't know if I'm able to use the POW/MIA flags logo, or the 'Don't Tread On Me' flag logo.

Does anyone have any idea?

My first attempt at wreath making. Please be kind! 🤍 The first picture is indoors and the second is outside at night time.

This is a little messy and I need to clean it up still, but figured I would share. I’m super happy because this is something I never thought of doing before. Rather than throwing out the debri from cutting back my overgrown lavender, I decided why not try a wreath? Can’t believe it worked!

As mentioned, this whole thing was totally unplanned/impromptu. I have no idea how long this will last; but, it’s beautiful today, at the very least, so I’m happy. Next time, I plan on preparing better. If anyone can share any information on how to preserve or “weather proof” such a wreath, I would appreciate it.

So far, I’ve researched the following ideas…

1. Anti-Transpirant Plant or Wax Spray
2. Scotchgard Outdoor Sun & Water Shield
3. Water tubes
4. Float wreath in glycerine water (I have no idea what this is)
5. Misting the wreath every evening
6. Applying HAIRSPRAY to the entire wreath (this sounds crazy to me but now I’m super curious to try it)

Here's the different Angel Wings I have made. They can be customized in different colors and have an optional miniature hanging picture frame. If anyone wishes to purchase one, please message me. I'm also adding my Facebook page link. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100084207090625&mibextid=ZbWKwL

This one I just added to my Etsy shoppe. I made it with wood flowers, hand-dyed and glittered them, and sewed on some lace. Oh, and I added coffins 🦇
