Dried Flower Wreaths

One way of commemorating the crucifixion of the Christ is with flowers, like with a wreath of flowers. And if the wreath is of dried flowers the better. As the wreath with dried flowers last longer than the wreath of fresh flowers. So this Good Friday pay homage to the sacrifice of Lord Christ by waving a wreath of dried flowers.

To make a dried flower wreath for the Good Friday you will need:

• Dried flowers of your choice.
• White colored ribbons.
• A wreath frame, which you can easily make out of a  bendable wire
• A pair of scissors and garden shears and

•        Floral wire.

The wreath making procedure:

• To start with gather a bag full of dry foliage. Some suggestions as for the foliage that you can use are foliage of magnolia, dry oak, dry ferns and bay laurel.
• When you have the have your foliage trim them to a height of 6 inches.
• Next, you will have to cut the stems of the dry flowers, so that they match the height of the foliage. That is cut the stems of the flowers about 5 inches below the calyx.
• Then wrap the wreath frame with the dry foliage. To do this gather your foliage into bunches and wrap them round the frame with the help of the floral wire.
• Continue wrapping the foliage round the wreath frame until the bunches cover the frame fully. Once the two ends of the of the bunches meet after making a full circle, overlap one over the other and tie it using the floral wire.

•         Arrange your dry flowers as the way you want them to appear on the wreath, by inserting their stems into the wreath base. Secure the flowers to the wreath with the floral wire.

•         Now that the dried flower wreath is ready take the white colored ribbon, make a simple bow out of it and secure it to the base of the wreath.

To make your wreath more fitting for the occasion what you can do is, take a small crucifix and place on the apex of the wreath.
