Tropical Gothic Moon Wreath and Bouquet

Today I completed a new moon wreath and made a matching bouquet to go with it.

I call them Tropical Gothic, simply because when I started making them they had all the markers of being a tropical inspired thing and I didn't really want them to say TROooooPICaaaL, so I added some gothic black and purple roses and I felt waaaay better about the outcome.

Materials I used for the Wreath and Bouquet:

• Artificial flowers (found at Dollar Tree)

  • Lavender, Lilac, Lilies (purple and white), Pansies, Roses (black/purple and white)

• Metal 10" circle wreath

• Yarn (wrapping the metal wreath for easy application of flowers)

• Silver 1/8" wired edge ribbon

• Hot Glue

• Silicone finger protectors (found at Dollar Tree)

In the Beginning

Prepping the Tropical Gothic Moon (wreath)

I cut the 10" circular wreath into a moon shape and taped the ends closed to make a moon shape. I did a little bit of bending to give it the shape I wanted.

I crocheted a really long chain in some scrap acrylic yarn I have and wrapped the wire wreath with it. Starting from one taped end (not wrapping the tape) and going all the way around to the other taped end. The yarn gives the flowers something to stick too when using hot glue to place them.

Placing the Flowers

I started placing the main flowers in places that I wanted and started to hot glue them down. This was in no particular order. I did whatever felt and looked right.

I then wrapped the ends with the silver wired edged ribbon till the whole end was covered and it blended in with the flowers.

Here is the end result:

I then used the rest of the flowers I had and made a matching Tropical Gothic Bouquet.

I filled a small mason jar with poly pellets and just started stabbing flowers into place until it looked the way I wanted it too.

Here is the end result:
