Dried Flower Wreath - How To Make A Dried Passover Wreath


Passover is a Jewish and Samaritan holy day and festival commemorating the Exodus from Egypt and the liberation of the Israelites from slavery. It is also known as Festival of the Unleavened Bread. According to the Hebrew Bible, Passover begins on the 15th day of the month of Nisan, the first month of the Hebrew calendar. Since the Exodus of the Jews took place in spring, hence Passover is celebrated in Spring for seven to eight days.

This year, decorate your house with dried flower wreaths on the occasion of Passover.

 

Step 1: First of all get some foliage some 6-inch long enough like magnolia, oak, fern, cushion bush etc. They dry very soon. 

 

Step 2: cut the stems up to 6 inches from dried flowers like dried lavender, hydrangea, straw flowers p to 6 inches.

 

Step 3: Now make a wreath frame using a thin flexible wire. Or you can always opt for ready-made wreaths frames.

 

Step 4: Along the wreath frame attach a floral wire.

 

Step 5: Now, place the stems of the foliage together in a bunch with their ends facing same direction.

 

Step 6: Now you place the dried flowers on the top of the bundle of the foliage you have made in the previous step.

 

Step 7: On top of the frame where the floral wire is connected place this bundle on the top.

 

Step 8: Wrap the floral wire around the bundle, holding the bundle tightly in place.

 

Step 9: Now leave the wire attached to the frame. Keep another bundle of flowers and foliage in a way so that the leaves overlap with the first bunch and cover the cut end.

 

Step 10: Repeat the steps with each set of foliage and flowers wiring them to the frame tightly until you complete the circle.

 

Step 11: Now, lifting the first bundle, wire onto the frame and tuck the end under it.

 

Step 12: Knot the wire on the frame by twisting the wire tightly around the last bundle. If there is any remaining wire, then cut it using scissors.

 

Your Passover wreath is ready to adorn your house.
