How to Make a Sunflower Wreath
Step 1
Make Leaves
- On top of a cutting mat, lay down the green burlap ribbon in a roll.
- Cut the ribbon into five pieces, each approximately 11.5 × 10 inches, using a rotary cutter.
- Five pipe cleaners should be twisted onto the wire wreath frame, evenly spaced along the outer perimeter.
- To form a bowtie, fold two of the clipped corners of a ribbon piece toward the center and pinch them together.
- To attach the ribbon to the wreath frame, stack it on top of a pipe cleaner and twist the center.
- To secure the final four ribbon pieces, keep going around the frame. These will grow into the leaves of your flower.
Step 2
Add Yellow Petals
- Using the rotary cutter, cut 30 pieces of yellow burlap, each 10 by 10 inches.
- Start with five pipe cleaners and add more as necessary as you twist them onto the next rung of the wreath frame.
- Use the folding and pinching method to shape each piece of yellow ribbon into a bowtie shape, which will serve as the petals.
- Layer two yellow petals on top of each pipe cleaner as you place the petals on top of the pipe cleaners and fasten them with a twist.
- To make the petals offset from the preceding layer, stagger the pieces around the frame.
Repeat until you reach the wreath frame’s center by going up one rung at a time.
Step 3
Create the Flower’s Center
- Three pieces of brown burlap, each 2 feet by 10 inches long, should be cut. The strips should be gathered together and fastened at one end with a zip tie.
- The three portions should be braided together. Secure the end with another zip tie, then trim any extra plastic from the knot using scissors.
- At each quarter-turn, secure the braid using zip ties to form a circle.
- Using zip ties to fasten it in the back, turn the wreath over and insert the braided circle in the center.
