![Summer greenery wreath with small white flowers](https://tatertotsandjello.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/summer-wreath-1004x1018.jpg)
Start with a greenery wreath base that includes small white flowers. This will serve as the foundation for your strawberry wreath.

2. Add Faux Strawberry Bunches

Adding faux strawberry bunches is the next step to bringing the strawberry theme to life.
- Prepare the Strawberries: Separate the faux strawberry bunches, if necessary, so they are ready to be placed on the wreath.
- Position the Strawberries: Arrange the strawberries around the wreath, spacing them evenly. Fluff them out to ensure they look natural and voluminous.
- Attach the Strawberries: Use floral wire to secure the strawberry bunches to the wreath. Wrap the wire around the stems of the strawberries and the wreath base, twisting tightly to hold them in place. You can also use a hot glue gun for additional security.
3. Create the Double Bow

- Cut the Ribbon: Cut a length of the red and white gingham ribbon to 36 inches. This will be for the three loops on each side of the bow.
- Form the Loops: Fold the ribbon to create three loops on each side, each loop being 6 inches in width.
- Cut the Tails: Cut two tails, each 12 inches long.
- Assemble the Bow: Use floral wire to tie the center of the loops, securing the shape of the bow. Attach the tails to the back of the bow using the same wire.

- Form the Loops: Create two loops on each side, each loop being 4 inches in width.
- Cut the Tails: Cut two tails, each 8 inches long.
- Assemble the Bow: Use floral wire to tie the center of the loops, securing the shape of the bow. Attach the tails to the back of the bow using the same wire.

- Secure the Bows Together: Cut a 12-inch length of ribbon and tie it around the center of both bows to cover the floral wire and secure them together. Tie it tightly in the back and trim any excess ribbon.
4. Attach the Bow to the Wreath
- Position the Bow: Decide where you want to place the bow on the wreath. The top or bottom center is typically a good spot.
- Secure the Bow: Use the leftover wire from the bow to tie it onto the wreath securely.
5. Final Touches
- Adjust the Elements: Make any final adjustments to the strawberries, flowers, and bow to ensure everything looks balanced and visually appealing.
- Secure Loose Elements: Use additional floral wire or hot glue to secure any loose elements.
