Great tutorial. I bought a 12" wire frame and a big bunch of natural eucalyptus at Michaels craft store. Paid $15. Going round and round with the wire didn't work for me. I wound up wiring 4-5 sprigs tightly together, then attaching each bunch to the form tightly with more wire. Completed the wreath in 45 minutes.It was easy, no messy glue, and the wreath is lovely! If I do this again, I will probably use a variety of greenery and make fuller bunches though.
thank you so much for a wonderful wreath making tutorials!!! I have a Q please< what is the time frame longevity of a wreath made with fresh pine or eucalyptus material? thank you
Hi again, I would also like to know what size wreath ring did you use in this tutorial and as well a very important Q: How can I preserve or lengthen the life of the wreath? thank you!!
I absolutely love this and have almost everything to make it. Can I directly hang it on my door without drying? It's 20-30 degrees out. I don't want it to loose its form. I'd like to have it for years to come!
I find it works best to lay it on a table as a centerpiece until it is completely dry. Then you can hang it on the wall or door and it will look full and pretty. You can also spray your wreath when it is dry with a coat or two of clear acrylic spray sealer (found at any hardware store in the spray paint department) to make it a little more sturdy. The only downside is that it will lose its great fresh fragrance.
Thank you for sharing this tutorial. I love it! What is the size of the wreath frame and how can roses be added to the arrangement? Also how many stems of each type of greenery/?
Sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot my account password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Lorenzo Israel thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
This wreath remains fresh for about 2-3 days, depending on how humid the area you place it in is. You can dry it on a flat surface (like a table) first, then hang it and it will last for months to come.
I used about 3-4 full stems of each of the 4 varieties of eucalyptus (about 1/3-1/2 of a bunch, per type). The baby blue (tall linear eucalyptus) is about 12 stems.
Eucalyptus does produce a sticky gum when the stems are cut. The oozing gum does stop after a few hours. I would recommend creating the day before and misting the wreath with water, placing in a plastic bag, and keeping it cool until the wedding. The sticky ends should be sealed up by then.
Emma Harvey you can use any size wreath form you like and will just need to adjust the amount of eucalyptus accordingly. The 25 cm is smaller than the one I used for the video, so it would take just a touch less eucalyptus or the same amount and you could make it fuller.
I used about 1/3 of a bunch of each type of eucalyptus for a 14" wreath form. You could add more or less eucalyptus, depending on how full you would like your wreath. You could also use one main type (like the baby blue) all the way around and then just put touches of the other varieties, this works great if you are not able to buy several varieties.
Thank you. One of the best tutorials out there!!!!
Love, love, love this wreath.
Thank you for sharing 🥰🙏
You wreath is the best wreath on youtube so far

How long would this last fresh?

You can hang it to dry, however, it gets a little droopy. I suggest laying it on a table to dry and then placing on your door.

@Lorenzo Israel it did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass !
@Cyrus Cohen you are welcome =)
Prachtig!
Beautiful. It must be fragrant to have in the house. How long does it keep?
This wreath remains fresh for about 2-3 days, depending on how humid the area you place it in is. You can dry it on a flat surface (like a table) first, then hang it and it will last for months to come.

Love the video - how many stems of each eucalyptus did you use?
I used about 3-4 full stems of each of the 4 varieties of eucalyptus (about 1/3-1/2 of a bunch, per type). The baby blue (tall linear eucalyptus) is about 12 stems.
Parabéns por esse belíssimo trabalho e que Deus te abençoe sempre
how would you recommend sealing the sticky ends if I use euc to create hoop bouquets for a wedding?
Eucalyptus does produce a sticky gum when the stems are cut. The oozing gum does stop after a few hours. I would recommend creating the day before and misting the wreath with water, placing in a plastic bag, and keeping it cool until the wedding. The sticky ends should be sealed up by then.
What size of ring is this? At my local wholesaler they have 25cm rings. Is this the same size as what you used here? 🌿
Emma Harvey you can use any size wreath form you like and will just need to adjust the amount of eucalyptus accordingly. The 25 cm is smaller than the one I used for the video, so it would take just a touch less eucalyptus or the same amount and you could make it fuller.
How many bunches of each type of eucalyptus would you say that you used? And what size metal wreath form did you use?
I used about 1/3 of a bunch of each type of eucalyptus for a 14" wreath form. You could add more or less eucalyptus, depending on how full you would like your wreath. You could also use one main type (like the baby blue) all the way around and then just put touches of the other varieties, this works great if you are not able to buy several varieties.
Monica Starr how many stems are in 1/3 of your bunch? Trying to gauge how many stems I need. Mine don’t come in bunches. 🙂
So how long does this last it is so gorgeous 😍
Let it dry on a table for 3 days and then hang it on your door. It will last months.
😢😘
Is the eucalyptus dried already?
I used fresh eucalyptus to create this wreath. You could create yours with preserved eucalyptus (found at most craft stores).

Fast please!
