Step 3
Tie a length of red ribbon for the hanger then make a large bow and hot glue gun this to the bottom of the length.
Step 4
Glue the leaves here and there around the wreath keeping the spacing even.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Not worth buying Bought this based on the link on the wreath page, saying items you need, however the page is misleading the wreath the women is holding is clearly larger than they one they supply, the supplied one is tiny by comparison. Even when it’s opened up it’s way smaller diameter wise.
