by Blushing garden roses and sunny oranges remind us of the warm hues of summer. This wreath is crafted with sparse greenery on a natural twig base. And when it hangs from a length of sisal rope, it swings elegantly in any outdoor space.

steps
-
Strip flower stems of excess leaves, snipping to desired length with cutters.
-
Secure flowers and greenery to the grapevine base using floral wire. It’s best to start with an “anchor piece”—a large rose or a particularly full and lovely branch—and build out from there. Work odd numbers, not even—if you have two flowers on the wreath it looks like a happy face.
-
When complete, loop the sisal rope around the wreath and hang. If you’re making your wreath ahead of time, keep in the fridge to help it last longer.
