This single-rail heart shape is formed by using 12-gauge wire. Horseshoe shaped clamps are then welded around the shape at 3" intervals. These shapes are painted green for better appearance and to reduce problems associated with rusting. The clamp-on shapes are easy to use and uses fewer tips than other methods of wreath making.

The only things needed to make a wreath are a clamp-on machine, the frames and greens. The greens should be formed into uniform sized bunches. When a bunch is placed on one clamp and clamped tight the stems should extend into the next clamp to be filled, this will add to the wreath stability. The clamps should be filled and clamped tight in succession around the ring until finished.

Carefully plan each shape before starting, as each shape has own its individual challenges. After all clamps are full, the ending places can be hidden with a few small greens with sharpened stems inserted carefully into place.

These shapes are designed for single- faced use only. Any type of greens, fine or coarse, may be used or any type of dried flowers, vines or twigs. The largest dimension of each finished shape will be 8" to 12" larger than the size of the wire shape.
