| Steps |
 Bend
the hangers
Take two wire hangers and fashion each into a circle. Don’t worry if they’re not perfectly round.
 Bind
the hangers
Bind the hangers together with floral tape to make a base.
 Arrange
your cuttings
Arrange your tree cuttings on the base, attaching them with floral wire. Make sure the stems overlap.
|
 |
If you don’t feel like buying cuttings
or foraging for greenery, use the branches you cut off the bottom
of your tree to make it fit in its stand. |
 Glue
pinecones
Glue pinecones onto the wreath, if you want.
 Glue
holly
Cut holly sprigs into 4-inch lengths and glue them where desired.
|
|
Beware—holly berries are toxic, so keep
them away from children and pets! |
 Attach
a bow
Attach a big store-bought bow to the top with a chenille stem, or make your own from wide ribbon.
 Hang
your wreath
Hang your creation using the hanger hook. Reward yourself with a spiked eggnog.
