How to Make a Wreath

Step 1: Collect a wire frame, 22 gauge floral wire, hot glue gun and ribbon from a hobby store.

Step 2: Gather plant material: Evergreens, grasses and dried flower/seed heads work well.

Step 3: Next, make small uniform bundles of plant material to attach to frame with wire.

Step 4: Wrap wire around bundle and then wrap bundle onto frame. Continue the process around the entire frame.

Step 5: Attach other material with wire or (if small items) hot glue. Finish it off with a decorative bow.

Step 6: Create a hanging loop by twisting two pieces of floral wire and attaching to the back of the frame. Hang and enjoy!
