Always place individual branches on the willow wreath and wrap them with the wire.
Instead of using a ready-made wicker wreath, you can make a wire blank of the appropriate size yourself. First, form a ring with the wire in several layers and wrap the wire with green florist's ribbon. Now make small bouquets from the flowers, which you wrap with floral wire and then with florist's ribbon. Now tie these small bouquets to the wire ring using the floral wire.

To match the jungle feeling, exotic-looking flowers such as plumeria and hibiscus are made from paper.
