Get to work
To make a wreath of dried flowers, first of all make a selection of the colours and the flowers that you want to include. Then, dry the flowers. You can either buy dried flowers from the florist, or buy fresh stems and dry them yourself by following these instructions.
Once the flowers are dry, place them through a ball of chicken wire to create your arrangement. Imagine that you're constructing a photograph or a painting, and enjoy mixing flowers with textured foliage. You can either create a traditional circular wreath, a round ball that works as a sideboard arangement, or a contemporary bouquet of flowers to float in the air like you can see on Yoko's Instagram. Gypsophila lends itself perfectly to more unusual shapes, as the sprays of tiny white flowers create a bewitching halo effect.
