Today I show you how to make a very special flower bouquet with a flower wreath yourself. The wreath is tied from ivy vines and wire and shaped into a heart. The wreath serves as a bouquet holder and makes it easy to arrange roses, lisianthus and snapdragons to create a pretty heart-shaped bouquet decoration. Perfect for giving as a gift for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day or a birthday!
With the following step by step instructions you can easily make the hearth wreath and flower bouquet yourself!

Instruction | Bouquet with flower wreath in the shape of heart
Step 1: Cut ivy vines

The first step is to cut the ivy vines for the heart wreath. I use the flower scissors for this and cut 8 pieces of equal length (about 40 cm).

Step 2: Wrap ivy vines with wire
![](https://lena-kate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/05_efeu_wickeldraht_diy_blumenmanschette_efeuranken_herz_blumenstrauss-1024x1024.jpg)
From the eight ivy vines, I form two cords with four ivy vines each. Each cord is now wrapped with the green floral wire from bottom to top.

I cut the wire with the wire cutter.

Step 3: Shape a heart
Now, a heart is formed from the two ivy cords.

To do this, I cut two longer pieces of wire from the strong floral wire with the wire cutter.

Then I put the ivy strands side by side and wrap and twist the bottom ends with a piece of wire.

Then I form a curve with both cords to make a heart.

The upper ends are now simply wrapped with the other piece of wire and twisted.

I cut a piece of felt cord with the scissors and wrap it around the ivy heart.

Step 5: Make a holder for heart-shaped flower wreath
![](https://lena-kate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/18_draht_seitenschneider_diy_blumenmanschette_efeuranken_herz_blumenstrauss-1024x1024.jpg)
Now, a holder out of wire is made and attached to the ivy heart. To do this, I cut 4 long pieces of wire with the wire cutter (about 60 cm).
![](https://lena-kate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/19_drahtstucke_diy_blumenmanschette_efeuranken_herz_blumenstrauss-1024x1024.jpg)
I bend the pieces of wire in the middle.

I attach the wire pieces to the top, bottom and sides.
![](https://lena-kate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/21_drahtschlinge_diy_blumenmanschette_efeuranken_herz_blumenstrauss-1024x1024.jpg)
To do this, I put the wire on the ivy heart and wrap the wire around. Then, I pull the ends through the loop.
![](https://lena-kate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/22_herzmanschette_diy_blumenmanschette_efeuranken_herz_blumenstrauss-1024x1024.jpg)
Then I take three cords of wire together and wrap them with the fourth piece of wire.

![](https://lena-kate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/27_blumen_zuschneiden_diy_blumenmanschette_efeuranken_herz_blumenstrauss-1024x1024.jpg)
Now I cut roses, lisianthus and snapdragons and remove the lower leaves.

Now I hold the heart wreath in one hand and use the other hand to insert the flowers.

In the final step, I wrap the flower bouquet several times with the pink raffia ribbon and knot the ends.
![](https://lena-kate.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/32_strauss_binden_bast_diy_blumenmanschette_efeuranken_herz_blumenstrauss-1024x1024.jpg)
If the stems are of different lengths, you can adjust them with the flower scissors.
