1. All clusters can be adjusted in size to add contrast and depth to the wreath.
    
2. Once all images have been cut, punch a hole in the center of each flower.
    
3. Slide bead onto floral wire, creating a ‘U’ shape & resting the bead in the curve of the ‘U’.
    
4. Take the two open ends of the wire & thread them both through the top of the flower cluster, heading downward through the background, and out the underside of the cut background layer.
    
5. Twist the two open ends of the wire around the frame of the wreath, securing the flower cluster in place.
    
6. Repeat above steps until wreath is filled & complete
