Materials:

Larger willow wreath
Smaller grapevine wreath
Bunches of good quality silk flowers
Wire cutter to cut the bunches apart
Glue gun
Floral wire
Red, purple and orange sheer wired ribbon
Scissors

Instructions:

Attach the first set of fern flowers by tucking them into the larger wreath and further secure each one with a dab of hot glue.
Attach the second type of fern leaf flowers and further secure each leaf with a dab of hot glue.
Now do the same thing with the maple leaf flowers. The larger wreath is now complete. Notice that I attached the leaves in different directions randomly but quite evenly around the wreath.
Now secure an assortment of silk flowers to the smaller grapevine wreath. In this wreath there is no pattern but I tried to make sure the colours were evenly spread around the wreath. I also further secured each flower with a hidden dab of glue. Notice that you can hardly see the smaller grapevine wreath because it is so full of flowers.
Now attach the smaller wreath to the larger wreath. I just used floral wire to connect the two wreaths at four different points so nothing would move or come apart.
I also used floral wire to make and secure the bow to the top wreath.
