Note
Your garland will slowly dry out over time. If you would like it to look fresh for a specific occasion, make it as close to the event as possible to ensure the flowers and greenery are at their freshest.
How to Assemble
- Lay out all your materials on a clean workspace.
- Start with a base of pine branches. Lay them out in the desired length and shape of your garland. You can make it as long or short as you like, depending on where you plan to display it.
- Layer eucalyptus branches over the pine base, spacing them evenly. Secure them with floral wire, wrapping the wire tightly around the stems and the pine branches.
- Trim the stems of the red roses. Place the roses along the garland, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Secure each rose with floral wire or by inserting the stems into the greenery base.
- Use the hot glue gun to attach ornaments to the garland.
- Cut the ribbon into lengths that can be tied into bows or looped through the garland. Check for any gaps or spaces in the garland. Fill these with extra pine or eucalyptus branches, ornaments, or small decorations to ensure a full appearance.
Enjoy the festive and elegant touch it brings to your holiday décor!
