How to make
To wire the pine cones, place the wire just before the bottom of the pine cone, so you can hide the wire inside the pine cone. Once done, wrap the wire around and twist it off, so you are left with two long wires at the back.
Start by fluffing out the wreath, and then add any extra foliage you may want. To do this, take the wire/string and feed it through the main frame of the wreath, bring both ends of the wire/string up, make a loop about 5cm big and twist/knot to tie it off. Cut the excess and feed the twisted/knot part back through the wreath and bring the loop to the top.
Place a pine cone onto the wreath and feed through the wire either side of the wreath's main frame and take each wire to the back of the wreath. Once through twist off and cut the excess. Repeat with all the pine cones.
Spread out your wooden shapes around the wreath and use a glue gun to affix them. Allow 5 minutes to fully let the glue dry out, before starting the next stage.
Now glue on the small pine cones, making sure they are scattered around at random to give your design depth and detail when looking up close. Allow 5 minutes to fully let the glue dry out.
Your wreath is now complete!
