How to Water your Wreath
Watering your wreath regularly will keep it looking fresh and alive for longer.- Check your wreath is fresh. Artificial wreaths do not need to be watered.
- Fill your tub with about 5cm of cold water.
- Lay your wreath in the tub and allow to soak for around 2 hours.
- Drain the tub, and stand your wreath to drip-dry for around 3 hours.
- Hang your wreath, and repeat every 2 days.
- For a longer lasting wreath, lie it flat and water every 5 days.
Tips on How to Create the Perfect Wreath
- Your wreath is 3 dimensional, consider looking at it from all angles, including sides. Not just from the front on view when constructing.
- If you intend to hang your wreath outside, use weather appropriate decorations.
- Bows can go on the side if you like. Make sure your bow has a generous “tail”.
- Attach all bows to the main frame of the wreath with wire.
- Add fresh blooms and herbs that will dry closer to Christmas – for fragrance and looks.
- Ensure all attached berries and blooms are fastened on well to the main frame. Use additional small wire for additional fastening.
- Don’t cut stems of added berries. Work them into the frame. This way they can be taken out and used somewhere else next year for a fresh look.
- Use your Christmas wreath on your front door. Take it down for Christmas and use it as a centrepiece with the addition of a pillar candle in the middle. Add some foliage for flowers, real or artificial.
- If you would like an elevated arrangement, stand the wreath on a tall glass vase. Fill bottom of the vase with a few complimentary Christmas baubles to carry the theme through.
- Store your wreath in the bag. Add a lavender bag or clove bag for beautiful fragrance next year!
