Wreath How-To

1. Cut branches into 4- to 6-inch pieces. Gather pieces into thick bundles, and secure each bundle individually with 26-gauge floral wire.

2. Attach 1 end of floral wire to star wreath form.

3. Lay 1 bundle on wreath form, and wrap tightly with wire, halfway up bundle. Without cutting wire, add another bundle so its top overlaps bottom half of previous one; wrap with wire.

4. Repeat to cover form, making sure bends in form are well covered.
