This is a wreath that will be extremely complimentary to your living room and add that extra bit of elegance. Yes with a little bit of careful planning, you can create a dried flower wreath which, if it isn’t an exact match of the flowers in your wallpaper, will be something that will compliment them and bring a look of elegance to your living room.

First you will want to gather some vines and trimmings and lay them out carefully in your garage or shed to dry. There’s no sense in paying for something that you can easily procure for yourself. Matching the flowers in the wall paper may not be quite as easy, so you may want to arm yourself with a bit of left over wall paper and head off to the local craft store. If you don’t find exactly what you are looking for in the dried flowers there, don’t hesitate to show your wallpaper sample to the person in charge. Once you get your materials, it’s time create.

You will want your work area to be well covered with newspapers, this is a MESSY project. Study your wallpaper sample carefully. Does it have a bunch of flowers that consist of two pink flowers and one blue? Form the vines and the flowers into a bundle, then wire the bundle to the wreath base. Then study the wall paper again. Keep repeating this pattern until your wreath base is covered, cover the stems of the last bundle with the first bundle and there you are. read also Craft Ideas For Lovely Grandparents
