fall_wreathYou Will Need:
Wood twig frame (purchased from Micheal’s)
3-4 Fall leaf branches
3-4 Decorative fall berries (orange/yellow, green/brown pictured)
Wire cutters
Gloves (the cut wires can be sharp)
Floral wire (or hot glue)

Directions:
01. Cut the leaves from the branches in large sections.

02. Weave the leaves in and out of the twigs to allow leaves to stick to the twig frame.

03. Using floral wire, wire the leaf branches in two spots; at the beginning and end of the branch. Tip: Wire the branches in spots where the leaves will hide the wire. The floral wire will allow the wreath to be used outdoors if in windy conditions. You can also use hot glue to secure the leaves to the twig frame, however floral wire works best.

04. Cut the decorative fall berries off the main branch. Wrap and secure the floral wire around the end of the branch and secure it to the twig frame. Place the berries randomly around the wreath under the leaves. I suggest spreading out the berries in an even fashion for equal distribution around the wreath (place the berries on the inside and outside of the wreath too).
