Materials:

- Floral foam wreath form, 8-inches in diameter
- 1 yard décorative green ribbon, 1.5- to 2-inches in width
- 18 stems purple statice

| Directions:
|
|
|
Step 1 - Soak the foam wreath in water that has been treated with floral preservative for approximately 30 minutes.
|
|
|
Step 2 - Begin by folding the decorative ribbon in half. Now lap it over the wreath form and pull the loose ends through center of the halved ribbon. Tie the ends of the loose ends in a knot. The ribbon is used for hanging the wreath.

|
Step 3 - Cut all the flowers and greenery to about 2-inches in length. Begin with red roses. Fill the wreath with red roses, inserting them next to eachother. Don't forget the top and sides of the form. Allow the roses to take up a 3-inch wide space on the form.
|
|
|
Step 4 - Now repeat step #3 with the other types of flowers until the entire wreath form is filled. Each flower variety will be used two times on the wreath, except the pink roses and the rosemary. These varieties will only be used once.

Notes: - The wreath will drip for about an hour. Hang it in the shower or another 'safe' spot prior to hanging it on a wall or door. This design can also be used as a decorative centerpiece with a tall hurricane candle set in its center.
