Simple Holiday Wreath
Materials:
Large embroidery hoop
Variety of greenery and flowers
Floral wire
Wire cutters
Corsage stems
Hook (for hanging)
Instructions:
1. Start with a larger piece of greenery where you want the main focal point of your wreath to be. We kept ours asymmetrical for a more modern feel.
2. Using the floral wire, wrap it around the hoop and greenery to secure it.
3. Working in the same direction, continue adding in greenery until it looks as full as you’d like.
4. After you are satisfied with your base of greenery, you can start adding flowers. Clip your flower stems down to the bottom of the flower.
5. Dip the tip of the corsage stem in water for about 10 seconds, then secure to the cut stem of the flower. This will help keep the flower fresh.
6. Wrap the wire of the corsage stem around the embroidery hoop, nestling it into the greenery.
7. Once you’re pleased with how it looks, hang your creation.
8. As the flowers wilt, you can replace them — or keep your wreath simple with just greenery.
