Wreath of the Day, From the Archives – Flocked Wire
We will continue with our wreath decorating tips with a plug for green flocked wire. You may find paper covered wire in various gauges at Walmart or Amazon, but this wire is sprayed or coated with soft green velvety fuzz, making it far easier to work with – no more cut or calloused fingers. It’s available from Oasis Floral Products in 20 gauge, but check at your local supply companies for more sizes. The higher the number the smaller the wire. We take long pieces and cut them into the sizes we may need for a particular task, whether it is securing pine cones or adding more greens to the balsam bases. The color blends into the foliage and by twisting the ends, you get a secure decoration.
Tracey Cannistraro, our current co-President, is today’s Wreath of the Day Sponsor. Thank you, Tracey! Tracey also decorates, but the wreath below was made in 2013, before she joined the Club.
