How to Make a Wreath From Live Greenery

Wreaths are sometimes made with live plants.

Using live greenery to make a wreath can result in a beautiful decoration that has a fresh scent. Making a wreath is simple and using the live greenery adds a fresh touch to the appearance.

Things You'll Need

• Two wire hangers
• Scissors
• Greenery
• Floral tape
• Floral wire or glue

Instructions

1. Shape two wire hangers into a circle. Keep the hanger part intact and adjust the shape by bending it into a circle. Use floral wire to put them together and connect the two hangers with floral tape around the entire circumference.

2. Cut the greenery branches. Use any preferred greenery for the wreath and adjust the branches so they are about 9 inches long or so.

3. Secure the branches to the wire at the stems. Use floral wire to hold the branch to the hanger base. Overlap the next branch to cover the stem and repeat the process until the entire circle is covered with greenery.

4. Add decorations like bows with either floral wire or glue.
