Spring mini wreath or centerpiece
Materials:
Package of mini single fern leaves from Dollar Tree Or any other kind of small flat greenery. (You will use five of the six pieces.)
Bird
Birds nest
Three Mini plastic robin eggs
5 to 6-inch mini wreath
Floral foam
Moss
Baby’s breath
Dollar Tree 1–2 stems of a spiky berry bush
1.5 yards of 2.5-inch wide natural wired net ribbon to make 3-4 inch loops on each side of the bow. 1.5 yards of 1.5-inch wide natural wired net ribbon to make 3-3.5 inch loops on each side of the bow, with a button loop center.
Instructions:
First, place the floral foam tightly in the spring mini wreath and cover it with some moss.
Next, place the mini bird’s next in the center of the wreath. Now, lay the three eggs and lay them in the nest. Then, place the bird in the next as well.
Then place the fern leaves all around the wreath and add the succulent. Now, add the baby’s breath. Set the wreath aside.
Make the bow
First, cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire. Then, fold it in half and insert it into the Bowdabra. You will have a loop on one side and two loose wires on the other side. This will serve as your slipknot. Tuck the ends under to stay out of the way while you are making your bow.
Place the small stick in the mini Bowdabra.
Now, add the ribbon tails. Then, fold and twist the longer ribbon to make loops back and forth. Repeat making loops with the burlap ribbon.
Scrunch everything down with the Bowdabra wand. Insert the loose wires through the loop and pull tight while the bow is still in the Bowdabra. Then, remove the bow from the Bowdabra, separate the ends, turn to the back, and tie a knot. Tie a double knot for extra security.
Use the stick to add to the foam in the mini wreath. You have the most adorable spring mini wreath or a perfect centerpiece.
