Floral foam rings brimming with garden flowers make a welcoming outdoor decoration.

Copper wire suspends this wreath of 'Summer Stars' kousa dogwood from an overhead ceiling beam. Wetting the foam daily extends the life of the flowers.

  1. Wrap lengths of copper wire around the foam ring. Twist wire ends together.










  2. Insert candles in the foam by gently pushing until they reach the plastic base.










  3. Arrange cut flowers inserting stems into the foam until the wreath is full. Kousa dogwood is used here; many other garden flowers are suitable.
