To make the wreath, begin by wrapping the wire around the crimped ring a few times to keep it in place. Attach securely. Begin gathering small 6-8” bunches of greens, and wrap them around the wreath. I like to make my wreaths double faced so that they are beautiful and full on either side. Repeat this part repeatedly around the entire wreath EVENLY. Make sure you bunches are roughly the same size in thickness. Do not worry about pieces sticking out, we can trim later.
After you fill around, start adorning it with decorations of your choice. I will be using white tipped pine cones and ornaments, and big red velvet bow.
To make the Sleigh, begin by placing one brick of wet foam in the sleigh. Make sure there is a liner in case of leakage. Next, begin placing various boughs of greens into the foam. Since this will be kept in warmer temperartures, make sure stem insertions are deep. Feel free to substitute with a styrofoam ball in lieu of foam.
Begin adorning your sleigh with decorations of your choice, such as pine cones and ornaments.
Viola! You have two beautiful festive decorations for your home that will last the entire holiday season. Plus, they smell AMAZING! Nothing beats fresh evergreen!
Begin wrapping wire around the ring and itself.
Next, add one small bundle. To make the wreath double sided, add another bundle on the opposite side. Make sure to have green front facing out.
This is what the side profile of a double sided wreath looks like.
Keep repeating this process over and over again.
Complete fill in the wreath on either side. Now's the time to trim any pieces sticking out.
Attach a large bow. I used velvet. Then add your pinecones ( optional)
Next, add your ornaments. Voila a beautiful fresh evergreen wreath for the holiday season.
