VIRTUAL WREATH GALLERY
Use this basic technique to create stunning wreaths for any season.




Basic Wreath Instructions:

step 1

Cut an 18" length of wire and attach one end to the wreath frame.

step 2

Cut the base foliage stems as directed.

step 3

Lay a stem or spray of base foliage on the frame where the wire is attached. Wrap the wire around the stem and the frame, pulling it taut.

step 4

Lay a second stem below the first, with the stems facing the same direction and the foliage overlapping. Again, wrap the wire tightly around the stem and the frame. Continue around the wreath until the frame is concealed.

step 5

Hot glue single stems or small bunches of additional foliage to the wreath to fill in sparse areas.

step 6

Hot glue sprigs of accent material to the wreath, concealing the stems.

step 7

Add a bow or other focal point accent.
