Why Choose a Swag Wreath  Base?

Swags offer a unique twist on traditional wreaths, adding vertical interest to your door or wall. They’re lightweight, versatile, and perfect for showcasing statement pieces like signs or large bows.

What’s in the Kit?

This wreath kit includes everything you need to create this stunning design:

  • Swag Base: A high-quality base that provides structure and fullness.
  • Sign: The wooden sign ties together the warm, rustic theme with a touch of personality.
  • Ribbons: A mix of wired ribbons, including polka dots, gingham, and pumpkin prints, for creating lush bows.
  • Floral Picks and Greenery: Cream-colored pumpkins, sunflowers, dahlias, pinecones, and muted greenery for a soft, autumnal palette.
  • Extra Embellishments: Dried wheat and gold accents for texture and dimension.
Step-by-Step Tutorial
  1. Prepare Your Swag Base: Fluff out the greenery to create a full and even foundation. Make sure to bend and shape the branches outward for a balanced look.
  2. Attach the Sign: Secure the wooden sign to the center of the swag using floral wire or pipe cleaners. Ensure it’s snug and centered before proceeding.
  3. Create Your Bows: Use the wired ribbons to craft one  large and one smaller bow. Place one at the top and one at the bottom of the swag. Secure them tightly with floral wire and adjust the loops for volume.
  4. Add Florals and Embellishments: Layer the pumpkins, sunflowers, and dahlias around the sign and bows. Add the pinecones, wheat, and gold sprays for extra texture and elegance.
  5. Finish with Flair: Step back and make any final adjustments. Trim ribbon tails at an angle and ensure the swag looks balanced and cohesive.
