How to Make a Pink Spring Hydrangea Wreath on Grapevine | Easy Mother's Day Wreath Idea

Hello everyone, welcome back to the page. I'm Laen, community manager and Southern Charm

wreath

designer. Today we are going to

make

a beautiful

spring

hydrangea

wreath

. I'm really excited about this, so let's get started, let me show you a few. The elements we're going to be working with today, so I chose this gorgeous bright

pink

hydro, it's beautiful and I also chose a lighter

pink

that will match for color contrast. These two work perfectly together. It is a monochrome design. I am using the same color, however the shades will be different. Well to start off you will notice that the size of this bloom is quite large, in fact it has a bloom of 8 so it is really big.

I'm working. On a 16 inch

grapevine

wreath that I cleaned and is ready to go, I purchased eight of these flowers, four in the darkest shade, er, pink, and four in the lightest shade of pink, these are very popular, you see them in all the magazines uh, especially for

spring

, I cut the stem to the right, I cut the stems, I removed the leaves and I cut them to the right to about 4 inches, so the stem here is about 4 inches long. I'm probably going to cut them off a little bit more, but that'll give me a start, okay, all we're going to do is glue them around the wreath, okay, this is pure

hydrangea

.

I could add a little. of pink rose just to give it a little bit of texture, but for the most part this will be all hydration. Jer, okay, so when you insert something into a vine wreath, we don't want it to go directly into our vine wreath, you see that. right there I'm not going to put it straight I want to put it at an angle and then I can bend my stem up I'm going to put a little bit of glue on the stem and I'm going to start inserting and I'm going to bend it nice, when we insert we want to go with the grain or the way the vines are going, okay now to complement this, I'm going to go in with the next one and I'm just going to insert it at an angle and I'm going to bend it nice, I like the two different shades because it allows our eyes to have a lot interest, if it were just one color it would be beautiful, but the two different shades also give our eye more interest I'm going to come back with a pink one, a light pink one, we're going to put it right here, okay, I'm making sure everyone is the same height, some are not sunken more than others I'm going to cut this last one we're going to put this one right here we're going to see how pretty, very pretty now what I want to do is go back and fill in some holes so that the path what you can do is bend and separate your hydrangeas because what we're also trying to do is

make

sure we hold our shape well as you can see we have our wreath on the easel now let's talk about our shape and form although the insertion was very good you want to make sure that your shape the shape of your design is actually in the place it needs to be we don't want anything sticking out a little to one side we want to make sure that we have a constant or complete circle that looks good and this one looks really good.

The next thing you can do if you want is to go in and insert some of the hydrangea leaves that came with your hydrangeas. You can go in here and fill that out. Personally, I like hydrangeas without the leaves, however, I need a little bit of contrast color. I want to break this pink up a little bit and I love these pink roses. The small green leaves will add a little color. contrast and different texture and that's what I'm looking for now. I've got my stem cut off and I'm going to go in here and I'm going to cut off some of these leaves because you can also add these leaves. just cutting them out, okay, I've got my roses, my really pretty, sweet roses, cut out and we're going to start going around and thinking about where we'd like to fill in a little bit with a little bit of color now I've got a little hole. right here I'm going to fill in and I'm just going to insert it right there, we're going to go around and we're going to put some of these roses so they're a little bit lower, there we go.

I've got a little hole here, so I'm going to go in and put some of this in. You don't have to do this. If you want it, straight hydrangeas, you can buy an extra hydrangea if you want to divide them or. cut that last hydrangea, um, remove some of the flowers and fill them in like that. I have one here that I would like to insert here. I have another one here. Look how that green is breaking it. a little bit okay, now what you can do with your leaves that you cut the stem of your rose is you can go in here and add some greenery just to give it just to break up that color just a hair is I don't I don't want elements in it flat, okay, you don't want to.

He didn't want to take this green leaf and put another green leaf directly in front of it. Well, we want it to go down or up. We don't want things. parallel in the same plane, well, now the last thing we need to do is put in a hanger, so I'm going to bring you back and show you how to make the hanger for this. I don't want to take anything away from the wreath um this is really going to come out of the door and I want all the attention to go to the wreath so what I'm going to do is I'm just going to wrap this up tight and I'm going to tuck this ribbon Under this hydrangea , there we go, so I have a top and a bottom and I'm going to think about how far I want my perch to go up and honestly, I want my perch to go up like 5 inches.

I'm going to cut right at 6 and 1/2 inches, so this is about the length I want my hanger to be, which is 1 2 3 4 four five six right at 6 inches. I'm going to cut this out and what I'm going to do is zip tie. I'm going to join them together and zip tie these ends before tightening them. I'm going to make sure my tape is in the direction it should be, I'm going to make this really tight and I'm going to cut off the excess, then what I'm going to do is turn this hanger over to where the flange part is on the inside facing in. . the back and I have a hanger here like this, look, so we have our hanger, the next thing I'm going to do is make a bow and I'm going to put the bow right here, so I'm going to measure maybe 18 inches for a tail and I'm just going to make a two loop bow and I'm thinking, excuse me, I'm thinking I want them to be a 6 inch loop, let's fix that. there I'm going to measure another 18 inches.

I'm going to cut this, okay, and this is what we have. I'm going to take some florist wire and just wrap it around it real quick and stick it in. down you don't have to do this but it's a good way to keep it in place. I'm going to cut off the excess. I'm going to take this and I'm going to gather it together and I'm going to twist it or zip tie this part to the actual ribbon. I am zip tying to the actual ribbon hanger. I'm going to line everything up before I lower it completely.

I'm going to turn my tie back and get there it's very tight and I'm going to cut off the excess like this and there we go, we have the perch now you can choose what I'm going to do, you can choose to go in and cover yourself. the center, which is what I'm going to do, so I'm going to cut about a piece of 5, let's see if I want to fold it, yeah, so I'm going to take a piece of 5, I'm going to fold it. It's over and I'm going to cover my mechanic in the middle, so I'm just going to wrap it around and tie it into a knot like this and I'm going to cut off the excess. and there we go, we have a beautiful hanger, let's put it back on the easel and we'll show you what it looks like now that we have it back on the easel, let's adjust the tails of our ribbons and we want to make sure that we turn the um ends underneath, we fold them over. down because it will fray if you cut it right and then you can curl it however you want, very pretty, but there you have it, this is a very simple way to make a stunning wreath, it turned out beautiful.

I had curtains, we made two different shades of pink. I went in and added a little bit of pink just to give it a little bit of a different texture and I also added some little rose leaves and then we made a hanger. and in the end it turned out very nice.
