1. Gather materials at a space where you can spread out and get a little messy.
2. Make small bundles with clipped greenery, wrapping tightly several times with floral wire. (Think about layering different colors and textures!)
3. Attach bundles to the wreath with wire, ensuring you overlap them slightly to cover up the wire from the previous bundle.
4. Tie it off and start on the other side, going from “top” to “bottom.”
5. Where the bundles meet in the middle, cover with added materials like flowers, pinecones, or a bow!
