How many flowers will I need for this flower crown?

What floral supplies will I need to make this baby's breath garland?

  1. Floral Wire
  2. Floral Scissor for trimming your baby’s breath.

How do I start to make my flower baby's breath garland?

  1. To create your garland, keep the twine or rope on the spool. In the end, when you finish your garland, the twine/rope will be trimmed. I always like to keep it on the spool if you decide to make it longer.
  2. Cut the baby's Breath into small sections off the main stem into small sections to bunch together. Keep the stems around 3" long. Bunch sections together, making a round cluster—pre-make clusters before attaching them to twine.
  3. Cut wire pieces approximately 2-3 inches long. Start attaching the bunches to the twine at the end of the string, and wrap floral wire around stems around the twine with the baby's breath pointing outward. Wrap the stems in the floral wire tight to the twine. Overlap the bunches with the baby's breath blooms in the same direction as you added them to the twine. The last bunch is attached in the reverse direction for a finished end. (*Tip- Create your garland on a long piece of cardboard or towel to make it easy to pick up and move when you finish putting it together.)
  4. Your baby's breath garland can be made in advance. Be careful when picking up the garland.
