Steps on How to Make Mailbox Swag Using Live Greenery<\/h2>\n
There are different steps that you need to follow when making mailbox swag which include choosing the materials, building the base of the swag, adding accent greenery, and adding the decorations.<\/strong> You can be as creative as you want when making the swag.<\/p>\n The first step to making a mailbox swag using live greenery is to choose the materials that you will use. It is a good idea to choose the material based on what you want your mailbox to look like. You can also follow themes such as autumn, winter, spring, or summer. Moreover, you need to choose the right length of the greenery according to long how you want the swag to be.<\/p>\n You can choose from a wide array of live greenery available which includes boxwoods, evergreens, cedars, and many more. If you do not want to visit your local garden plant store, you can choose greeneries from your garden. You also need to choose the d\u00e9cor that you want to use for the swag. Ribbons and bows are common for creating stunning swag greeneries.<\/p>\n After choosing the materials for the mailbox swag, the next thing that you need to do is to build the base of the swag. Think about what you want the swag to look like. For instance, if you are making holiday swag, large branches are a great option. Cut the ends of the branches together with their ends pointing away from you.<\/p>\n Next, you need a third branch and cut it into smaller pieces. Place the smaller pieces on the ends of the larger branches. This will be the top of the swag. Compile all of the branches and use florist wire to wrap them together. Make sure to wrap the branches tighter by wrapping the wire around them a few times. After securing the branches, wrap the ends of the wire.<\/p>\n The next step is to choose an accent for the swag. To do this, you need to jam the stem of the greenery underneath the wire. You can use a longer accent at the bottom and a smaller accent at the top. It is ideal to insert the accent greenery into the gaps under the wire so that they will not fall. To make your mailbox swag interesting and unique, you use different colors and textures of greenery from what you use for the base.<\/p>\n The last step would be to decorate your mailbox swag. You can choose any decoration that you want. Start by wrapping a wire around the natural decoration that you are using. Make sure to secure them into the swag. You can use decorative items like ornamental grasses<\/a> and stalks. Place the decorations under the wire to secure them.<\/p>\n You can be as creative as you want when decorating the mailbox swag. Get ideas from online websites. Some choose to use battery-operated fairy lights in the swag to make them visible at night. On other hand, when adding battery-operated decors, make sure that they are waterproof or have them protected from rain and snow.<\/p>\n Grace Monroe Home shared the video below on YouTube.
