This wreath was going to be put out to sea, so it needed to be completely biodegradable. We started with a structure made from the stringy twigs that are left after palm-fruit have fallen, tying them into a wreath shape with string. Then attached the leaves with cold glue, making sure to seal the end with the glue. After the leaves we attached the chrysanthemums and orchids in the same way.

Notes for this project:
– Make sure you have a good base – enough light twigs to make sure it will float.
– Use flowers that will be ok without water for a time.
