Restoring the shape of your wreath
A quick guide to restoring the shape of your wreath by Plan Bee Home, after shipping or storage.
It didn’t occur to me that the wreaths would get a bit out of whack when they shipped. It should have… They get that way here unless they are hanging up 24-7. I cut them by hand so they will never be absolutely perfect but they do not have to look like someone ran them over by a bus either.
So, I have taken one of the current heart wreaths to show you how to ‘shape’ and fluff yours out. It’s easier to do the first part on a flat surface but the rest can be done while it is lying flat or hanging on a wreath hanger. Side Note: I suggest hanging them by one of the inner top rows on the metal base. Ribbon works too but it’s all up to personal preference.
Example of a wreath after storing.
Step 1: Place the wreath upside down on a flat surface.
Step 2: Gently pull all of the strips out straight around the edges. You will want to do this on the outer and center areas so it lays flat when you flip it back around. The back should now be flat (or close).
Step 3: Time to turn around! Turn the wreath over so the front is face-up on a flat surface or hang it on a wreath hanger. I find the second option easier so I can step back & look but either works.
Step 4: Gently ‘shape’ the wreath by pulling each strip up and work them around the wreath until you reach your desired shape. You can also fluff out each strip by just running your fingers through the wreath to ‘fluff’ it out (think of your hand as a rake or when you fluff your hair out ).
Voila! Time to hang up & enjoy! Snap and share on social media!
