One of the easiest ways to transform any space is to decorate from the top down. We are so here for dreamy and ethereal decorations that pack a big punch without breaking the bank and this hanging wreath and ceiling draping DIY is proof that gorgeous decorations don't have to cost a fortune. The draping creates a romantic effect while the flowers and greenery reminds us that spring is just around the corner.

Begin by taking Wire Wreath Frames to a well-ventilated area to spray paint them copper. Allow them to fully dry before moving onto step 2.

Lay a Silver Dollar Eucalyptus Garland over the top of one of the Wire Wreath Frames and use wire cutters to snip a length from the garland to cover just over half of the wreath. Bend and form the garland to follow the natural curve of the wreath and use pieces of floral tape to attach the garland to the wreath in 4" intervals.

Once you have covered the tops of each wreath in eucalyptus, gently bend the branches to fluff it for a flowing and more natural look.

Cut a section of four flowers from a Pink Peony Faux Floral Garland and use floral tape to secure them to the top middle portion of the wreath for a springtime feel.

Find the center of your dining table, or other area you plan to hang the ceiling décor, and suspend the middle of the three wreaths over the center of the table with two long lengths of Gold Baker's Twine from removable adhesive hooks attached to the ceiling. Next, hang the left and right wreaths, also using Gold Baker's Twine. We chose to hang our center wreath slightly higher than the wreaths on either side, but they could be hung in a straight row if you desire.

After ironing a Champagne Draping Fabric Roll on a low setting, gently pull one end of the fabric through the first wreath and on through the additional two wreaths. Allow each end of the fabric to "puddle" on either side of your table for a whimsical effect.
