3. Cut foam balls in half and glue. To best serve as the base for your hydrangea, cut in half as many foam balls as are needed to fit around the wreath form. After this is completed, begin to glue petals onto the cut foam shapes until they are completely covered. Cutting the foam like this will allow the balls to be glued more securely to the wreath base and sit flat against a wall or door once it is hung.

To help them match the life-like appearance of the blooms, score them down the middle using the curling tool and give them a slight shape by folding before adhering to the wreath base.
