SUPPLIES
WHAT YOU NEED:
✔ Faux Stemmed Leaves (6 monstera & 6 palm)
✔ Wreath Frame
✔ Mini Hot Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
✔ Lasercut “Aloha”
✔ Scissors
✔ Optional: Spray Paint for lasercut “Aloha” since it comes in a natural wood finish.
STEP 1
With your wreath frame facing up, lace your stemmed monstera leaf over the first and last horizontal bars of the wreath frame. Then bend the stem backwards around the innermost wreath frame bar, securing it to itself as well as the 2 wreath bars with hot glue.
STEP 2
Bend your stemmed palm leaf until the end of the stem lines up with the tip of the top palm leaf. Then cut off the excess leaves on either side so that the leaves begin at your bend. Set these cut leaves aside as we will use them later in this tutorial.
Place your bent palm leaf against the vertical wreath bar closest to your monstera leaf. Sandwich the 3 innermost horizontal bars of the wreath frame between the palm stem and palm leaf, securing them together with hot glue. So far your wreath should look like the picture on the right.
STEP 3
Repeat steps 1 & 2 until all 12 leaves (6 palms & 6 monstera) are secured around your wreath frame.
At this stage your wreath should look like the picture above.
STEP 4
Use the extra clippings of palm leaves we set aside, to enhance your wreath by gluing them around the exposed black wreath bars and over the monstera leaf stems.
STEP 5
Optional: Spray paint your lasercut “aloha,” a color of your choice and allow time to completely dry.
Finally, secure your lasercut “aloha” to the leaves on your wreath with hot glue.
Hang & Enjoy!
