time to create your wreath!
Step One
Begin by preparing all your decorative items. Ensure you have all the correct points and wires for each and have followed the guide in our previous guides.
STEP TWO
Start by pinning your bow to the wreath with a steel pin. Press the pin firmly into the wreath ring.
step three
Secure three Cinnamon bundles in a half moon have at the base of your wreath. Press your steel pin firmly into the base of the wreath to secure.
step four
Attach pairs of Orange slices next. Ensure these are spaced equally around the face of the wreath. Press the steel pin firmly but be careful not to cut through the slice when doing so.
step five
Add your large Pinecones next. These should take in the inner and outer edges of your wreath. Nestle some of the cones in and amongst the foliage.
For best results, slide the hairpins in at an angle.
step six
Add four dried Limes next, distribute these in the spaces you have created after placing your Pinecones.
Again, slide the wiring into your wreath at an angle to secure.
...and you're done!
Time to display your beautiful wreath on your door. We hope you loved creating your beautiful luxury wreath.
