How do you add fruit to a wreath that doesn’t have a stem?
Many of you have asked me how to anchor a piece of fruit into a wreath so securely that it will NOT come out. You’ll find if you pull and tug on each piece of fruit in a wreath that I design, they don’t move – they don’t jiggle – and they don’t fall out! I’m sure you want to know: “what is your secret?” Well, I’m going to tell you by using some examples and pictures of my “Plantation Charm” book!
In The Five Steps Below, I’ll Teach You
How to Add a Peach to Your Wreath!
STEP 1 – You’ll need a 6 inch pick and an artificial peach (or some other form of fruit). Push the sharp end of the pick into the peach to create a hole.
(If the peach or other piece of fruit that you are using is very hard, you might have to use a nail and hammer to make a 1 inch deep hole.)
STEP 2 – Pull the pick or nail back out filling the empty hole with hot glue.
STEP 3 – After adding glue in the hole, reinsert the pick – pushing in tightly. Remove the wire on the other end of the pick by cutting the end into a point.
STEP 4 – Place the peach in your wreath and push it in securely to the spot you have chosen. You might have to use a little force if needed to make it fit tightly.
I usually add some glue to the pick, and also around the base of the peach where the peach will touch the wreath.
STEP 5 Secure your peach with glue and place a pinch of moss around the pic to hide it.
