You will need

Bright fresh blooms, such as strawflower, gerberas and chrysanthemums Parchment paper

Baking tray

Dried poppy heads, wheat and bunny tails Food colouring

Scissors

Natural wreath

Glue gun

Ribbon

1Preheat

your oven to its lowest setting and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Lay the flowers on the tray and make sure they’re not overlapping each other. Place the flowers in the oven with the door slightly open so moisture can evaporate. Bake until dry – we kept ours in the oven for eight hours.

2Meanwhile,

add some food dye to tumblers of water, and dip the dried poppy heads, wheat and bunny tails inside. Leave for a few hours, then remove and allow to dry on kitchen paper.

3Cut

the stems from the baked and dried flowers, and arrange around the bottom section of the wreath, using a glue gun to secure them in place. 4Measure

and cut a length of velvet ribbon and tie around the top of the wreath so you can hang the finished piece up.
