How to a Make a Sunflower Wreath

Place a 12″ wire frame on top of a piece of cardboard and trace the outer edge of the smallest inner wire ring. Cut out the circle and put aside for the time being.

Cut floral wire into 6” long pieces. Cut yellow burlap ribbon into 12” long rectangular pieces.

Fold two opposite corners of one rectangle towards the center and then cinch the folded edges in the middle.

Secure with a piece of floral wire to form sunflower petals.

1. Place the cinched burlap against the wire frame with the folded edges facing downward.
2. Wrap the floral wire around the second ring of wires on the wreath form.

Continue making sunflower petals and space them evenly around the same ring. Fill in with more petals until happy with the fullness. We attached 14 petals to each ring.

1. Repeat this process for the 3rd ring on the wire wreath form.
2. Cut the green burlap ribbon into 38” long pieces.

Fold the green burlap ribbon in half lengthwise and then fold again a second time.

Pull the one cut end of the ribbon staggering the folded layers.

Wrap a piece of floral wire around the end to hold the shape and then secure it to the outer ring of the wreath form.

1. Make 5 sunflower leaves in total in the same way and evenly space them apart around the wreath form.
2. Preheat your hot glue gun. Turn the wreath right side facing down and glue the circle cardboard cutout to the inner ring. Then turn the wreath right side facing up.

1. Fold the brown burlap ribbon in half widthwise and then glue the cut end to the cardboard close to the outer edge.
2. Begin folding the ribbon lengthwise in short, loose waves, approx. 2” high. Glue all concave curves of the ribbon to the cardboard as you work around the circle.

Repeat with the second row and continue towards the center until the cardboard is completely covered.

1. Hang to enjoy!
