I have to tell you that this was the first time that I made a wreath. I've done about every craft project, but somehow this one got away from me! It took me only 1 hour and I found all the materials in my local craft shop. It looks great when it is done!

What you need:

• 1 12 inch Straw Wreath
• 1 Mushroom bird
• 5 Mini Daisy Sprays
• 5 Mini Sunflower Stems
• 4 Mini Liatris Stems
• 4 MIni Hydrangea Stems
• 2 Mini Baby's Breath Sprays
• Wire Cutters
• Hot Glue Gun/Glue Sticks

What you do:

1. Using the wire cutters, cut hydrangea and sunflower stems to 3 inch lengths. Position them evenly around wreath, and secure with hot glue.
2. Attach bird to side of wreath with hot glue.
3. Cut each liatris stem into two 2 inch sections of flowers. Place throughout wreath and hot glue in place.
4. Cut each baby's breath spray into five separate 3 inch clusters. Using hot glue attach three baby's breath clusters around bird. Insert remaining baby's breath evenly throughout wreath.
5. Cut apart mini daisy sprays into various lengths between 3-5 inches. Position throughout wreath to fill in any gaps and hot glue in place.
