How to Make a Silk Flower Arrangement Around a Hurricane Globe

Hurricane globes make beautiful centerpieces on dining tables for special occasions. You can dress up the globe by adding a silk floral arrangement around the glass. A circular wreath base is a popular choice for these arrangements, because it is the same shape as the hurricane globe. Because the wreath sits around the globe without attaching, you can make different wreaths for a variety of occasions using different colors and types of flowers and greenery.

Instructions

- 1
  Cut the stems from each of the flower blooms and greenery. Leave approximately 2 to 3 inches of stem so that you can secure the flowers and leaves to the base. The stem should not be so long that it sticks out of the back of the grapevine wreath base. Test each stem when you cut it and trim, if necessary.

  Glue each flower bloom to the wreath base. Place hot glue on the stem and insert it into the grapevine wreath. First, make a ring of flowers in the center of the wreath with the largest blooms. Then, use smaller blooms along the sides, slightly offset from the larger flowers. You can place the flowers side by side or space them approximately an inch apart, if you prefer more greenery in your wreath.

  Fill the open spaces in the wreath with greenery. The grapevine wreath provides a rustic look, so it is not necessary to cover the base completely unless you want a full look. Glue each stem in place as you fill the wreath.

  Glue a ribbon bow onto one side of the wreath. Allow the wreath to dry completely. Choose a ribbon color that coordinates with the silk flowers.
- 5
  Place the hurricane globe and candle in the center of the wreath.
