The wreaths are woven from Eucalyptus stems and the green stems are willow.
Strip a few green weaving strips of foliage.
See the Tutorial below for more detailed instructions on how to weave a wreath and how to strip foliage from weaving stems
Press the stem end into a gap in the wreath
Wrap the stem around and through any gaps in the wreath
Continue adding green stems to the wreath. Add a few stems so that it loops away from the wreath shape to give the flowers a place to nestle in
Add your fresh floral details. I kept my stems long so that I can position them and keep them hydrated. I make tiny straw test tubes for watering the stems. The tubes are cut short and glued into the back. Weave a few more stems over the flowers to somewhat cover up the straws
See the Tutorial below for more detailed instructions on how to make drinking straw test tubes
