Fall Dried Wheat Centerpiece
This months idea by Shelly Schaeffer
(Skill level - intermediate)
Materials Needed:
  • 2 bunches of dried wheat (any kind)
  • Floral tape or wire
  • Ribbon (raffia, raffit, or ribbon)
Step #1: Wheat Stems
  1. Hold wheat stems vertically in your hand and add wheat stems one by one at an angle.
Step #2: Adding Stems
  1. Continue adding wheat stems by slowly lowering the wheat as you complete the circle and go around again until you reach your desired width.
Step #3: Wrapping Stalk
  1. When you have reached your desired stalk width and size, wrap stalk where your hand is located with the floral tape or wire.
  2. Wrap very tightly so wheat will not move.
Step #4: Cutting Stems
  1. Hold end of stems together and cut stems to similar length.
  2. Stems should spring back into spiral shape.
Step #4: Add Ribbon
  1. Wheat should be able to stand on its own.
  2. Wrap ribbon around the neck to cover tape or wire.
  3. Add silk or dried flowers to accent if you desire.
