Five steps to make a foraged Christmas wreath

What you’ll need: Scissors, a wreath base, pliable wire, foliage, flowers and ribbon.

Step one: Remove the lower leaves from the stems of the longer pieces of foliage and flowers.

Step two: Thread the stems through the bottom of the wreath base.

Step three: Secure the stems with the pliable wire and continue this step with smaller foliage.

Tip: Group smaller foliage and florals together with a wire before attaching them to the base.

​Step four: Once you are satisfied with the design, attach the final flowers and ribbon.

Step five: Attach a loop to the top of the base with ribbon or wire to hang the finished wreath.
