Holiday Wreath

HOW TO CREATE A TOTALLY RAD WREATH


WHAT YOU WILL NEED:

*Bendable long branches (Dog Wood)
*Foliage (Pine, Cedar..etc.)
*Accents (Pine Cones, Berries, Dried Flowers)
*Branch cutters
*Floral twine
*Hot glue (optional)









     After selecting your materials you can begin to build your wreath by creating a base. Take two branches and bend them together, forming a circle. Use your floral twine to secure these together to ensure a strong base.





     Continue to build and wrap the branches around one another until you reach your desired size. Going in the same direction while wrapping will work best and look great. 





     Next add in your foliage continuing in the same direction around the wreath, build this up as much as you like. When your wreath is looking full and green it's time to add in your accents. Be mindful of where you place these so that you keep balance within the wreath. 




     Find a nice place to hang your wreath outdoors to keep it from drying out, this way it will last through your holiday season. 

Enjoy lovelies,
