Materials: heart-shaped 10-inch polystyrene wreath form (available at florists' shops); utility knife with a saw blade; hot-glue gun and glue sticks; several bunches of dried cockscomb (each with about eight stems); 3 yards of satin ribbon; T-pins; floral wire.
Round off the edges of the wreath form with the utility knife; beveled edges will let flowers flow over the sides. Trim stems off flowers, leaving a 1/4-inch base. Apply glue to bases, and arrange flowers-tops facing up-on form, grouping them by color. Cut a yard of ribbon, fold it in half, and attach it to the back of the wreath with a T-pin to form a loop for hanging. After hanging the wreath from a tack in the wall, tie remaining ribbon into a bow with long tails, and mount the bow on the tack with floral wire.
