How to Build a Wreath

How to Build a Wreath:

Crafting wreaths offer a fun way to bring greenery and foliage into your space during the winter months – especially around the holidays.

Foraged small clippings of evergreens and dried plants from your backyard make for beautiful wreath greenery. If you don't have access to a backyard, flowers, eucalyptus, and holly at your local Trader Joes or garden store are great and add festive scent and texture.

For a little extra flare – add pinecones and ribbons as a finishing touch! ✨

Getting Started:

**Step 1:** Make the wreath ring. Take two sapling branches and align them, overlapping by approximately one-third of their length. Twist the ends around each other, securing each end in place with wire.
Metal wreath rings can also be purchased at gardening shops!

**Step 2:** Separate your different types of dried plants, flowers, and conifer branches into individual piles. Then begin making little bunches of greenery taking a sprig from each pile.

**Step 3:** Wrap metal wire around your wreath ring three times and then take your first bundle of and hold it horizontal to the top of your wreath ring. Wrap the bundle with metal wire around the base of the bunch three times around the ring.

Finishing Steps:

**Pro Tip!** Pre-wrapping metal wire around a short branch like a spool will allow you to move swiftly as you add more bouquet bundles around the ring.

4: Continue to pick small bouquets of assorted greenery and rotate between fastening the bundle pointing inward and outward to make the wreath full and dense.

5: When you've done the full circumference of the wreath use smaller bouquets to tuck under the first bundle and tie off the metal wire with the tail of the start of the wire.
