I re-worked my bleached Baby's Breath wreath to create this wreath. See the detailed Tutorial below
Place the wreath on a flat working surface and glue a snippet of dried Gyp to follow the shape
Start with the outline to create the size wreath you require
Continue to add snippets of gyp
The dried Baby's breath holds its shape really well and creates a fluffy wreath
Cover the entire gyp wreath with fluffy snippets
Add a few dried twigs.
Glue in the test tubes for the fresh flowers
Add a few sparkling beads and baubles
