Are you guys ready? I'm going to take you into the studio and I'm going to create a gorgeous wreath DIY with three beautiful bunnies. Let's take a look. What I'm going to do is I'm going to adjust a little bit right here but then what I'm going to do is I'm going to double secure it with some of this ribbon and you guys probably have seen me do this for the full wreaths and what that's going to do is it's going to hold on to that block of foam right there very tight. I'm actually going to do a knot right there and that's going to stay right there and that's where we're going to put our floral so we're going to use the rest of this ribbon also to tie some other materials to it. So now I want to show you this little plaque right here. This came from Walmart and it's super cute. It says happy Easter and it has some striped and polka dot bunnies and what I'm going to do is I'm going to go ahead actually just hang it from the from the hanger and I'm going to tie it right here so it's one piece. So I'm going to grab a little wire that I have right here and I'm going to wire this together because what I want to do is I want this to be removable so that way we can remove those bunnies and then they're going to be able to be taken away and we'll put some other plaques as Easter comes and goes that way we can just replace the plaque without having to redo all of the florals. All right so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab my ribbon and this ribbon I found at Walmart and I cannot believe how pretty this ribbon is. Look at that it's a stripe and I'm going to combine it with a polka dot so what I'm going to do is I'm going to do oops I dropped it but don't mind me if I disappear. I'm going to go ahead and dovetail my ribbon right here and I'm going to do a cute little tail just a little one I don't want it to be too extravagant because we're going to do some florals to it so what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a little belly loop what I call I'm going to do probably a four loop bow and I love the hand on this ribbon is so beautiful look at that it just really hangs on to the shape of it so a four loop bow like this making sure that you have it even so that way it blends evenly and I'm going to cut right here and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to bring my one and a half inch ribbon this is a one and a half this is a two and a half and what I'm going to do is I'm going to introduce this guy right here and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a loop and this is going to be ribbon and how beautiful is this making sure that that printed polka dot is facing up like this so I'm probably going to do a four loop on this polka dot and I'm going to also give it one long tail look how pretty this is do you guys just love this contrast of polka dots and stripes it makes it look very modern very chic and I love it and for this one I'm going to give it a longer tail like that so now what I'm going to do is grabbing this guy right here actually you know what I'm going to tie it all together I'm going to use a zip tie because it is the easiest and I always like to have all of my materials at the ready because that way you're not looking for your materials as you go I used to have this co-worker that used to say piss poor prep makes the piss poor performance and that stuck with me because it is true if you have your items at the ready then you don't have to like really be out there taking longer than you should my ex boss used to say you're only as good as you are fast and that always stuck with me all right so now we're gonna fluff this cute little bow making sure that all of the loops are up like this and making sure that this guy also goes down look how cute this is you guys all right so now what I'm going to do is I'm grab this guy right here so I'm going to tie it right here I'm going to go through the loop like so and then I'm going to really tie it really really tight and I'm going to use these other ribbons as tails so basically just dovetail them going up and always dovetail your ribbons because remember what I said if I come to your house and if I see they're not done so I'm going to ask you for a pair of scissors all right so I'll fluff you know I always like to fluff the bows at the end so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to bring some of this and collect this and what I'm going to do is I'm going to attach into the foam and look at that see why you want to have that foam there because it really makes it easy to create all the way around I'm going to add one here on the top remember what happens on the left happens on the right it doesn't matter whether you're making a bouquet or if you are making a floor arrangement always follow those rules and look at that how easy was that you can leave it at that but because this is Ramon at home what we're going to do is we're going to create a beautiful arrangement on it I'm going to bring some of this dark wood and I'm going to cut my stems right here you know I like to cut all the stems at once so I want some taller ones and what you want to do is you want bend a curvature to go with the wreath form so what I'm going to do is I'm going to attach this one right here and poke into my foam and look how adorable is that so now what happens on the left happens on the right so we're going to basically do the same we're going to give it a curvature to meet my bouquet like this and so now I'm going to poke right here into my foam like this how adorable is this now this third piece I'm going to cut into smaller sections like so and then I'm going to poke going down and as you guys can see it doesn't take but a few minutes to create something really beautiful for your front door that is really going to make a statement make sure that this goes into your foam if you're making this to sell you know always recommend to go ahead and glue it and so now that all of this is done what we need to do is go back and fluff our bows making sure that every single loop shows and then bringing those tails and dovetailing them I'm going to finish dovetailing I'll put this in the door and show you what it looks like all right everyone so I'm going to show you real quick how easy and fabulous this three bunny wreath turned out to be on the door as you guys can see the rabbits really complement the ribbons you see that what I did that rabbits and ribbons and I love the little dogwood flower because it really just gives it that little oomph that this wreath needed you could have stopped at the greenery and make the rabbits or the bunnies do all the talk but I really love the way the ribbons complement the little bunnies the flowers really pop from the door and I think it is a really cute statement on your front door what do you think wasn't that super easy you guys all it takes is a few stems of flowers a piece of foam a focal point and some glue to create this beautiful wreath which kind of reminds me of the members only centerpiece DIY that we did that is one of the perks as a member only you're going to be having an extra video every other Thursday that goes on for members exclusive so if you are a member you can go check it out right now I had so much fun putting that centerpiece together all right you guys so now I'm going to take you back into the studio and I'm going to share with you how to create a super quick French inspired wreath for your front door let's take a look okay everyone so as I've told you before when I am decorating any home for any interior design jobs that I'm doing I like to start at the door and I like to start the door with a beautiful wreath and today I'm going to show you how to create a beautiful wreath with lemons black and white and a lot of succulents and greenery so this is going to be so much fun the very first thing I want to mention is a grapevine wreath that we're going to be needing I have my hot glue pan already melted I'm going to use a variety of these greeneries they came from Shinoda Design Center they have this cute little succulent and some greeneries that come already taped I'm going to use a variety of white flowers because I really feel like yellow and white go very well together and it's so beautiful for spring a variety of other greeneries we're going to use I'm going to use my wire cutters because I cannot work without my wire cutters my scissors I'm going to use a 16 gauge wire that is already pre-taped I'm going to use some of this beautiful black and white ribbon because it is so fresh and it kind of gives it that French feel especially when you mix it with some of these lemons all right so I'm going to get all of this situated I'm going to bring my first element and I'll be right back so all right everyone so now that we know all the materials we're going to use for this beautiful spring wreath I'm going to start by creating a gorgeous ribbon bow and you know that I love a white and black striped ribbon to create more like a feeling of a French inspired look with this particular wreath so what I'm going to do is I'm going to attach it to the top and then I'm going to squish it all together so that way I don't get it all stained with my glue because I'm going to be using my glue pellet skillet you can find one of those at Amazon and actually even at Walmart because it's just like an electrical skillet you can put your glue in all right so now I'm going to green my wreath remember what happens on the right happens on the left and I'm going to use at least three types of greenery for this particular wreath concluding that everything that goes up must come down if you follow these rules I promise you you will have a very beautiful and balanced wreath it's all about the balance with this particular wreath so now that I'm done with the greenery I'm going to add some of these beautiful flowers but first I'm going to splash that ribbon really good and then what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a knot on the wreath foam that's going to just give it a little bit of character so now I'm going to add some white daisies and you know what I also like to do the flyaways and in order to create these flyaways I'm going to use some beautiful lilac and white that came from Walmart as well you can use the flowers that you may already have you can use brand new flowers or you can just use some from your stash after this I'm going to add some succulents to the wreath and then the flyaways because it could not be a Ramona home wreath unless it had some flyaways on this beautiful wreath I'm also going to add some beautiful lemons and you can find those at any craft store have a lot in Walmart even the dollar store you and the last thing I'm going to do is I'm going to attach a little bouquet right where the knot is that way it's going to look gorgeous and simple and just finished let me show you the end result you guys I just want to show you real quick what this wreath turned out to be like it was super easy super super affordable to make with Walmart items and believe it or not dollar store lemon aren't those cute I just love the little knot right here with the mom and the lemon and the succulent and I love all the succulents in it I think it turned out so cute it is fresh looking it is spring like and the black and white really adds that fringe feel to it I love it but I cannot wait to read your comments so leave a comment and let me know what do you think are you guys enjoying this video if you are don't forget to follow me on my instagram and on tiktok I'm going to put a QR code right here so you can pause this video snap it and go follow me because I do daily content over there but now I'm going to take you back into the studio and I'm going to share with you how to create an alternative floral basket for your front door if you are enjoying this video be sure to leave a comment down below and let me know what tips have you learned so far let's take a look super affordable I'm going to use one block of florist foam that is cut in half and I just went ahead and pushed it in there I'm also going to use some green moss that you guys know I'm crazy about and you can find this at Walmart I'm going to use some really pretty purple lilac from the Walmart store or else I like to call it woolly world because I think we're friends and then I'm going to use some of these orange ranuncula I'm going to use a bundle of fox hollow also from Walmart some of these really pretty peach ranuncula and five irises that's also one bundle for my greenery I'm going to use some palm that I had already laying around also some of these eucalyptus that I also have but I know this is from Walmart and they have it right now and then I have some extra greenery with a touch of fuchsia just give it a little punch and then I'm going to use about a yard of this black and white stripe ribbon that I think is going to give it a really modern feel to it and this is from all right so the very first thing I'm going to do now that I have my door piece right here I'm going to grab some of this moss and I'm going to cover my mechanics just by tucking it in like this and you don't need much and also I always encourage you to just let it hang out because moss grows kind of wild like that and I really just like the punch of green right here and I'm going to save some of it for the end to show you guys a little trick all right so the first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to use some of this palm and I'm going to go ahead and put one right here and that's going to give us some height into our door I'm going to use another one coming down right here remember what goes up must come down and I always I'm talking to you guys when I do floral design about the triangle so you only have three pieces make sure that you use it on a triangle like this all right to fill in I'm going to bring some of this pretty eucalyptus and if you've been following the channel then you know that I like to use as many as three types of green ring because it makes your arrangement look more natural so I'm going to do one on this left what happens on the right has to happen right here on the left and that's going to help us with the width and then we're going to bring one down right here on the front now don't put it straight forward just go ahead and give it another and see how this one curves like this give this another bend and just make it curve the opposite way and that's going to give you um balance into your arrangement all right so the first flower I'm going to add is going to be some of this lilac because it is the tallest so I want to see how high I can make my arrangement look so what happens on the left happens on the right now I'm going to go ahead and do this corner right here and what happens on the right has to happen on the left then we're going to go ahead and give it a down so it spills forward and I'm going to go ahead and push it right here and then I'm going to do one more going the opposite way and see how we have it all the way around then I have one last one right here I'm going to put right here in the middle so see how that gave it a balance and it is all over the the uh perimeter of your arrangement so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to bring some of this ranuncula and I'm going to add I'm going to go ahead and grab it I'm going to add one right here so I'm going to do two on this side remember that I like to work in sets of threes twos and ones and those are just rules that I made up when I was learning floristry um to remind myself so that way the bouquets were always balanced I'm going to do one here I'm going to do the second one right here and I'm going to do a third one over here so now we have that orange all over the place so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to fill in with some of this greenery with a fuchsia and I told you guys this is going to be super simple and look what this does it starts to cover that foam and then also adds that little punch of fuchsia and that greenery is just so pretty all right so I'm going to add one right here and one right here oh I love the sound of foam just I love it some of you guys think I'm crazy all right so I have this right here from Walmart so I'm going to add one right here to accent and I'm going to go over on this side as well then I have some of these irises and because I did three on this side and two on one side so what I'm going to do now is I'm going to do the opposite I'm going to do one right here and then I'm going to go down over on this side and make sure you have to go through the through the moss sometimes so just make sure you wiggle it because it has to go into the foam and then I'm going to do three on this side so I'm going to add one right here on the top two and always playing with that triangle so the next I'm going to put over here on this side all right so the last flower I have is going to be this fox hollow and this is what I call your flyaways what really sticks out it makes it more daintier and I just absolutely love fox holler whether it's fresh or silk because look what this does it just comes out of your bouquet and it gives it that extra beautiful oomph that you need into your floral and this is uh to go with our centerpiece that I show you guys how to make if you have not seen the matching centerpiece for this I'm going to link it up right here and also in the description box below so you guys can see because I like to have a cohesive look going all throughout the home so that way you buy flowers in bulk because you might have a few projects okay so what happens on the right happens on the left and the easiest way to always remember this is if I'm going to do one up here and I have to immediately move to the other side and do the exact same thing so that way it's always balanced I have a few short ones that I'm just going to go ahead and use as filler right here right here look how cute this turned out and as you guys can see it literally takes a few minutes it doesn't really take that long I have a few leftover flowers I'm just going to go ahead and just poke them here somewhere because at this point it's already balanced so you can just add some flowers so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a bow real quick and I want those tails to be for as long as my banister uh my basket right here that's like the same banister so I want a really simple bow so I'm just going to do like a two maybe a two loop bow maybe a three and there's nothing wrong with doing a three loop bow you guys a lot of people is like oh why three well just just because why not so I'm going to cut my ribbon right here then I'm going to show you a quick trick I'm going to bring out one of my wires uh this is about a 16 gauge wire from my wire box and then I'm going to have a stem that I have from the florals earlier I'm going to cut this a little shorter right here then what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab my wire and I'm going to tie my bow with this wire right here right then I'm going to grab this stem and I'm going to put it right here in the middle of my bow and I'm going to really tightly just go ahead and swirl it around and then you grab the rest of your wire and then just go like like this and that'll give you a stem to poke your little bow to the foam all right check this out so I want it to be probably right here on the side I'm going to go ahead I might just have to readjust some of these flowers I'm just going to go ahead and poke this bow right here look how cute this is you guys super simple super affordable and this black and white ribbon with all of these colors just looks so gorgeous all right so this is what this particular door hanger looks like on my door and I just absolutely love the detail of the black and white ribbon with all these beautiful spring florals and as you guys can see I also covered the wreath hanger with the same ribbon to just give it a more polished look and I really hope you guys enjoyed it all right everyone so for this wreath what I'm going to do is I'm going to start by adding a plaque to my wreath and I went ahead and attached some pipe cleaners to the back with some staples so now what I'm going to do is I'm going to create a cute little bow I always like to start with a bow because it really helps me radiate the flowers and the greenery from it if you do not know how to make a bow I have a video I'm going to link down below so you can check it out on a tutorial how to make a bow super simple so once I have my bow remember what happens on the right happens on the left what goes up must come down you insert one on the top you insert one on the bottom you insert one on the right you insert one on the left and that's going to give you the balance you need for this particular I want it to end right where the plaque is it really is going to create a cohesion with my greenery and with the wreath and so now I'm going to start by adding some of these beautiful peonies you guys I love peonies when I worked in the flower shop it was one of my favorite flowers to work with and so now I'm adding some rose buds and this fuchsia is just so spectacular I love it leave me a comment down below let me know what is your favorite flower what is your favorite color of flower I cannot wait to read your comments as always you guys it is my favorite part of Sunday also be sure to give this video a thumbs up and share with your friends if you haven't and so now I'm finishing by adding this little bow that's telling my ribbon and I'm going to add the fly away which is going to be some of this purple and lilac and some beautiful accents to finish this thing I love it I hope you did too if you learned something be sure to let me know all right everyone so I want to show you real quick what a wreath finish looks like on the door and as you guys can see it's very cohesive with the pink and the purple and the yellow and the little plaque right here is so cute I love the way this turned out and the contrast it gives the door when you first walk in the florals are very minimal and the bow really does make a statement I want to add that I did add these extra tails right here and I just love the way the gingham looks with all the ribbon with the eggs and I think it is so cute but what do you think all right well let's get started with this video the things that we're going to need is going to be a bolt and a half of this beautiful ribbon from Walmart I'm of course going to use my scissors and my wire cutters I'm going to use florist tape and a 16 gauge wire I'm going to use a variety of greeneries I have some florals like this beautiful orange ranuncula that are going to go so well with our ribbon this peach ranuncula and white lavender and then also I have a bush of beautiful lavender and some of this I think this is a dogwood let's see if I can find out um it doesn't say but this one is from our home and it's going to be our flyaway so the very first thing we're going to do is we're going to heat up our hot melting pan and what I'm going to do is I'm going to grab my wire right here and I'm going to put my tape on my finger or my small finger and I'm going to start taping my wire this is going to prevent our hands from cutting when we pull onto the wire to tie our bow okay so now that we know the materials we're going to be using for this beautiful wreath with flowers what I'm going to do is I'm going to start once again by making my bow I want to reiterate if you do not know how to make a bow there's going to be a video down below so you can check it out it is super easy and I promise you if I can make it so can you and you guys I'm having such a blast teaching you floral design for beginners if you have any questions be sure to leave it down below so that I know how to answer your questions if you want to learn how to be a florist if you want to learn how to make it for your home for sale if you want to be doing weddings I am your man I'm going to be teaching you all of that on this floral design for beginner series all right so now once that I attach my bow this is going to go on the top and I'm going to start adding some of these beautiful eucalyptus if you're following the channel you know that eucalyptus is one of my favorite greeneries to work with and I am so lucky I can find this one at Walmart it is super affordable and it's just the base for all of your flowers I always try to do something pretty however affordable so now I'm going to add some of these gorgeous orange from Walmart and look how bright these are they're absolutely stunning and I just love it I'm going to accent that with some garden roses in peach and I just love the peach and the orange together it's monochromatic and all of those colors are found on the ribbon and that's how I pull my colors so now I'm gonna end with some lilac and that lilac is going to create my flyaway effect but I do have a special flyaway coming up really really soon so now that I've added most of my lilac remember to always do a clean drop because you don't want that glue to be dripping on your flowers make sure that you move everything away from the way when you are inserting a flower that has glue in it that way it's a clean job especially if you're making this for sale all right you guys so now I'm going to add some of these narcissus I love this purple and lavender narcissus they are so gorgeous and as you guys can see this wreath is turning out so wispy so pretty and I just absolutely love it and I'm going to finish this wreath with some beautiful lavender as my flyaway remember all of these colors came from the ribbon I always tell you to fluff your bow at the end and then what I'm going to do also I'm going to add some extra tails by adding some of these stakes with a piece of ribbon you just dovetail it and then you create extra bows to your wreath and it's going to basically make your bow larger as you can see I just add some to the right and some to the left keeping with that rule all right you guys I'm going to share with you the end result be sure to give this video a thumbs up and share with your friends if you enjoyed it okay so I just want to show you real quick what this beautiful wreath looks like on a door I adore the
