| INSTRUCTIONS: |
| 1. If
your wreath ring is white, paint green. |
| 2. Cut
the #9 ribbon into two lengths, 1 yd. long and 2 yds. long.
Using "U" pins, pin ribbons around the inside and
outside edges of the wreath ring. Note: ribbon should not be
pinned tightly to the wreath ring edges, but rather looped and
loose. |
| 3. Cut
eucalyptus in 3" or 4" pieces. Working in 3"
sections and starting at the top, spread glue on front of the
wreath ring. Add eucalyptus stems until wreath ring is covered;
secure stems with "U" pins if necessary. |
| 4. Trim
stems of other dried materials and glue to wreath randomly,
adding color and dimension. Cut off rose stems; glue roses to
wreath as pictured. Use any remaining ribbon to make loops or
bows to add around the wreath. |
| 5. Add
sprigs of eucalyptus to fill in any gaps. |
| 6. Hang
wreath with a "U" pin inserted upside down. |
