Helpful hints
When selecting flowers, consider contrasting colors.
For wreaths with fresh flowers, use wet foam - follow manufacturer’s instructions.
Use paddle wire to wrap and secure each section. Overlap flowers and foliage to hide the wire.
Finish your wreath with an elegant ribbon bow.
Holiday wreaths are made easy with “seasonal picks.” These are pre-assembled flower and foliage clusters available at your local craft store. Just glue or wire to the base.
