- 🎨 Layer for dimension. Slightly overlap flowers and leaves when gluing to give the wreath a fuller, more realistic look.
- 🦋 Bend the wings. Gently fold butterfly wings upward before gluing the center down to create a 3D effect.
- 🌿 Glue from the outside in. Start placing larger flowers first, then fill in gaps with leaves and butterflies.
