Dried Wreath Made with Hydrangeas

Whenever I see a beautiful Christmas wreath on somebody's front door (or over the mantel), it brings me closer to the holiday mood. The cold weather and the excitement all around, it just has a different feel to it. And this year, you can make dried wreaths at home instead of purchasing them from the stores.

Materials Required

• 1 wreath base
• Assorted hydrangeas
• Pine cones
• Berry clusters (your choice of colors)
• Green leaves and twigs
• Floral wire
• Glue gun
• Scissors

Step #1 - Before we begin decorating the wreath, you need to decide whether to use already dried hydrangeas or purchase fresh ones and dry them at home. If you're getting a good deal on the dried hydrangeas, then go ahead and purchase them; skip the hassle of drying them out yourself.

Step #2 - But if you want to get fresh hydrangeas and dry them out on your own, then there are few things to keep in mind. Select different hydrangea colors as it will make the wreath much more attractive. Also, when you dry them, hang them upside down in a dark room or keep them vertical in a flower vase.

Step #3 - Either you can purchase a ready-made wreath base or you can make one with a wire clothes hanger. All you have to do is manipulate the shape into a circle (shape of the wreath) and use it so. Just make sure that the circle is flat, has a loop on top, and can be easily hanged once the wreath is complete.

Step #4 - Bring the dried hydrangeas on your workstation and cut the stems with the scissors; leave 2-3 inches of stem in the bottom.

Step #5 - Take the first dried flower and the floral wire and wrap it around the wreath. The dried floral arrangement will depend on your choice, how you want the wreath to look like. Use the different colors of dried hydrangeas and arrange them to compliment one another. Also include the berry clusters, pine cones, twigs, and greens along the way.

Step #6 - Using mushroom birds mushroom birds, fake fruits, ornament balls, and other dried flowers is also a great wreath decorating idea. Use the glue to fix the other decorative items on your wreath. Once you have arranged them all, you can hang it from the loop on the door. And that would be it. Your wreath is ready.

These were the instructions on how to make a decorative wreath at home. The hydrangea flower arrangements can be changed, as mentioned earlier, as per your choice. After all, it's all about being creative and including your imagination to the wreaths. Plus, it's a quick and easy way to save some money but still get the job done.
