How do I make a memorial picture/logo?

Does anyone know how to make a memorial/funeral wreath?

• I have purchased everything I need to make a cross wreath of rmy husband's friend who just passed on. I just can't seem to get started & can't find any place that has any projects or instructions.

• Answer:

  I did a quick search and couldn't find a Styrofoam cross form on line, so you might have to cut your own. You will have to go to a florist to get the wire brace/frame that holds the cross up. Around the entire outer edge you should pleat weatherproof #40 ribbon, attaching it with fern pins. Next insert your first round of flowers, cutting the stem short enough so the flower heads just touch the ribbon ruffle,and cover the fern pins, but making an allowance for the amount of wire that will be inserted into the foam. ( insert the flower stem ).Start your next row of flowers, cutting them a little longer, placing them in between the spaces of the flowers of the last row. You are going for a rounded appearance, with no white foam showing through. Continue on in this manner, until the cross is completed. Sometimes a banner is added to the cross or a small corsage is added to the center of the cross. I think when you see how many flowers it takes for the cross, you will think that is enough to do. Pierce the back of the cross with the hook on the brace to hold the cross on. NOTE: You may have to get the wider ribbon at the florist as well as the brace to hold it. Remember you are looking for a slightly rounded appearance. You can get the fern pins at the craft store.
