Begin by using a bicycle wheel as your foundation. Fun fact: Lorie opts for an unconventional item for this project, illustrating that creativity can really shine in your designs. She will attach a piece of garden hose to the wheel with zip ties.
Lorie mentions that you can position the garden hose wherever you prefer; however, she places hers slightly lower to allow ample space for her bow and floral arrangements.
Next, it’s time to create your bow using butterfly ribbon as the base and layering it with pink 7/8 inch velvet ribbon. If you’re not confident in making bows freehand, feel free to use a bow maker for assistance. Lorie prefers hand-tied bows, and this one turned out beautifully. She advises, “Use your best judgment, and remember that practice makes perfect when crafting your bow.” Secure your bow with a chenille stem right above where the garden hose is attached.
Just beneath the bow, apply hot glue to attach your foam piece. This is where you’ll start adding your florals and greenery. Incorporate a mix of pink daisies, greenery, ranunculus, and anemones, tucking them under the bow into the foam as you shape them to your liking!
This design is straightforward yet stunning, making it beginner-friendly.
