Dried Lavender Wreaths

A dried lavender wreath is very beautiful and aromatic anywhere in your home. Dried Lavender wreaths make your home pretty and look natural. They are wonderful gifts for your friends and family ant time in the year.

Gift your beloved a dried lavender wreath along with some fresh red roses in the wreath. For that you will need the following materials:

• Red plastic wrap
• Scissors
• Hanger
• Glue
• Dried lavenders
• Fresh red roses
• Ribbon

Before you making your wreath collect the lavenders from your garden. Now cut the floral head of the lavenders and make them ready to dry. In a container pour some silica gel and place the lavenders in it. Cover the lavenders with silica gel and close the lid of the container. Leave the container for 3 to 4 days to let the lavenders dry.

After the lavenders are dried properly pluck the red roses from the garden. Cut the floral head leaving a length of about of 3”. Remember to cut the floral head in an angular shape and immediately dip the flowers in a bucket of water.

Now that you are ready with the dried lavenders and the fresh red roses form the wreath base. As you begin put on your gloves to unwind the metal hanger. Open the metal hanger and pull it as flat as possible. Let the hook be in place. Now give the hanger a heart shape. Leave the hook in place at the top of the wreath.

You can form out the heart and then bend the hook so it is straight. Now if you want to make your wreath a smaller one then cut out few inches from the hanger leaving the hook at a distance.

Take the red plastic wrap and Cut it into small strips. The strips look better if they are 2” wide and 6” long. Now take one strip and tie a knot around the heart shaped frame. Tie them in equal halves so that you end up with two ends of plastic striking out. If you want to have the ends striking out towards the front of the wreath then repeat the step once more.

Turn the plastic strip in such a way that the knot is at the back and the strips is facing in the front. Now take the red or pink ribbon and tie them in a large flat bow. Cut some floral wire and pass it through the back of the knot.

Now start placing the flowers in the wreath base. At first place the dried lavenders in the wreath base. Place the dried lavenders in the wreath leaving some gaps in between. Apply glue at the base of the dried lavenders and press them to the wreath base. Do not press the flowers too hard as the petals may break.

In between the dried lavenders in the wreath base place the fresh red roses following the same process. After placing all the flowers in the wreath base make a bow and tie it at the left corner of the wreath. You may also add some glitters in it to make the wreath look attractive.
