Step 1
Gather all the materials and tools you will need to create your wreath.

Step 2

Orange & Apple Slices (6 slices of each): Thread a green wire through a pair of orange or apple slices, fold the wire in half and twist the ends together to secure.

 

Make 3 pairs of each.

 

Pinecones: Wrap a green wire around the lowest open scales of the pinecones, overlap the two wire ends and pull tight to hide the wire between the scales, twist the ends of the wires together to secure.

 

Do this process with 3 pinecones.

 

Cinnamon Sticks (9 sticks): Wrap a green wire around a bundle of 3 cinnamon sticks, twist the ends to tighten and secure the sticks in place. Use hot glue to secure the cinnamon sticks together if you wish.

 

Wrap twine around the bundle several times to conceal the green wire.

 

See finished wreath.

Step 3
Add your foliage pieces from the wreath components kit to the wreath by wrapping the paper covered wire stems tightly around the base of the wreath.
Step 4

Wrap one wire around two cinnamon sticks a few times, once tight twist the two ends together leaving ½ of the wire free.

Step 6

Now it's time to add bow to your beautiful wreath. Make a bow – cut a length of ribbon and tie it around a green wire. Bend the wire in half and twist the ends together.

 

Tie the ribbon into a bow and trim the ends with scissors.

Step 7

Add the bow to either the top or the bottom of your wreath by inserting a wire leg either side of the wreath base and twisting the ends together on the reverse side of the wreath.

 

Snip off excess and push the ends into the base.
