Easiest Ever Flower Wreath

Need a little help coming up with something for Mom this Mother’s Day? Instead of ordering a flower arrangement from the florist, impress Mom with a simple wreath you can make in minutes. It’s so quick and easy; you might want to make several.

Easiest Ever Flower Wreath~
You don’t need to have lessons in floral design to make this simple, yet beautiful wreath. You’ll need to purchase a 13” willow wreath and two complimentary 4-foot silk flower garlands. A glue gun and glue sticks or sticky floral adhesive are also needed and enough ribbon to make a bow or purchase one already made.

Each garland will extend all the way around the wreath. Using a hot glue gun, affix the garland onto the wreath. Then, arrange the second garland around the wreath to fill in any blank spaces and glue it onto the wreath. If desired, add a bow in a matching color to the wreath.

(Wreath Example: Need help in selecting flower garlands? Daisies are a great spring flower. I used one garland of bright pink gerbera daisies and another garland containing pink roses and daisies and a hot pink bow. One wreath and two garlands from the Dollar Tree cost just $3.00, such a bargain and it turned out beautiful!)
