What You'll Need Equipment / Tools Wire cutters Materials 8 artificial lamb's ear 16-inch wreath form Florists wire Ribbon Instructions Jacob Fox Cut Lamb's Ear Lamb's ear is known for its beautiful fuzzy leaves, which is why we've picked it as the base for this wreath. We found lamb's ear bunches at our local crafts supply store. Using wire cutters, trim eight artificial lamb's ear stems to a manageable length for the size of your wreath. We found about 12 to 16 inches worked best on a 16-inch wreath form. Trim so you end up with long stems for weaving and individual sprigs to fill gaps. (You can always trim as you go.)

Continue to weave the stem over and under the sections of the wreath form to secure. Repeat with additional stems to cover the previous stems. Once you've filled the form, secure the stems using florists wire. Then fill any gaps with individual sprigs using florists wire to attach them to the wire frame.

Tie a knot and thread the ribbon through the wire frame, anchoring the knot on the back side of the wreath. The weight of the wreath keeps the ribbon flat. Make a classic bow with the same ribbon and attach it to the front of the wreath with florists wire. Your handmade wreath is ready to display.
