Ingredients

  • Eucalyptus
  • 4 other types of greenery we went around w hedge trimmers, looking for overgrown evergreens to trip off excess for the wreath!
  • wreath forms
  • floral wire
  • christmas bells

Instructions

  • Start with a wire wreath form
  • Use floral wire to wrap greenery around the form. Work little by little and adjust the greenery to make it have the same fullness all the way around. I like to use a variety of different greens and just mix them all in evenly.
  • On the big wreath, I started with one kind of greenery and made a base layer. From there I just dispersed in different evergreens. I added the eucalyptus last, because I wanted it to be the star of the show. The other greenery served as more of a backdrop.
  • I made the wreath on the front door quite a bit fuller than the ones in the bedroom.

    To finish the wreaths off, I tied on bells.

Notes

  • For the bedroom wreaths I used a little strip of grain sack fabric to tie on the bells.
  • I love leaving the wreaths with a bit of a messy look.
  • Just play around with it and wrap greenery on until it looks pretty.
