Flower Wreaths

Conversation With Carole Sullivan

What’s an easy way to make flower wreaths such as these?
Cut hydrangea blossoms into smaller pieces. Insert the stems into a circular florist foam wreath, covering it completely. To make a square wreath, tape blocks of florist foam to a wooden picture frame, and then insert flowers. For extra color, place ‘Jade’ roses in florist water picks and insert into florist foam.

How do you make the floral napkin rings and candle collars?
Use a craft spray adhesive such as Tack 2000 Super Strength Spray Glue to attach flowers to pieces of 1-inch-wide satin ribbon. Cut the ribbon about 15 inches long for the napkins rings and about 12 inches long for the candle collars.
