Posts: 65Any tips or techniques for this? I'm making a couple of bears for a local craft fair competition, and I've seen some lovely bears with flowers/garlands on their heads. But how to do it? Sew them straight onto the bear's head and just build the design up til they look right? Or weave into some wire and make a separate garland (and how to hide the wire if I do that?)
Any recommendations?
Kim-Bee BearsYou can always buy pre-done wreaths and attach - I've done that or I've crafted one as well - I started with a base of floral wire and made a "wreath" shape and then attached the flowers (depends on what type of flowers you are using - ones that have wired stems are easiest 
I have pretty much always sewn the wreath right to the bear's head
