WHAT’S IN YOUR
FESTIVE WREATH KIT
- Silver ribbon
- Natural twine
- Wicker wreath ring
- 1 eucalyptus cinerea
- 2 hemlock
- 2 white ilex berry sticks
- 2 pinus strobus
- 2 omerica cone clusters
- 2 spruce cones
- 2 noble fir
HOW TO MAKE YOUR FESTIVE WREATH
STEP 1
Begin by attaching the twine to the wreath base. To do this, loop around the wreath a couple of times, and tie securely. Wherever the knot sits is now the back of your wreath.
STEP 2
Cut two 20cm pieces of hemlock. Cut the remaining hemlock into smaller branches of roughly 10-15cm. Do the same with the eucalyptus, fir and pinus. Split all of these prepared branches into two bunches of roughly the same size.
STEP 3
Take the longest piece of each type of foliage from one bunch and push the stems into the wreath frame, binding them into place with the twine. Then repeat with the longest stems of each foliage from your other bunch, binding them on the opposite side of the wreath.
STEP 4
Add in one ilex berry stem and spruce cone in the same way to one side of the binding point. Then add the smaller stems from bunch one, starting with the longest and binding every few stems as you go. Add in the Omerica cone cluster close to the binding point. Then repeat on the other side with bunch two.
STEP 5
When you have added all your foliage, tie off the twine at the back of the wreath, making sure it is pulled tight.
STEP 6
Tie the ribbon to the top of the wreath to make a hanging loop, with the foliage to the left side for an asymmetric look. Mist with water then hang and enjoy.
