How to Make a Wreath

Cut the Branches.
Get either fake or real trees for the wreath and start cutting them to size.
Use floral wire to attach the garland.
Take the wire and start wrapping it around the base. Make sure there are evenly distributed so the wreath looks full.
Add a ribbon.
For a long bow make sure to cut it at least 2 yards and tie it onto the base. You can make it look for full by adding different layers to it.

DIY Holiday Gift

First, use your favorite fresh branches and trim the branches to form bunches. Using a variety of sizes branch for a full looking wreath.

Use the floral wire to attach the stems of the garland to the wreath form. Wrap wire like a bread tie to attach it securely. Trim any excess stems with Fiskars PowerGear2 Pruners. These pruners are super easy to use and are light weight too! They’re perfect for this wreath project because the blades feature a low-friction coating so that they won’t gum up with sap from the fresh branches.

We thought about doing a really full, elaborate bow but then we decided that simple would be better. Cut your choice of festive ribbon to about 2 yards length with Fiskars Original Orange-handled Scissors. Thread the ribbon through a thick wire on the wreath from and tie a simple bow at the top of the wreath.

If you don’t have them already, we highly recommend the Original Orange-handled Scissors. They’re perfect for everything from daily household tasks to crafting and more. Can you believe that these iconic scissors are celebrating their 50th Anniversary next year!?

After you tie the bow to the wire form, trim the tails by folding your ribbon in half (length-wise) and cut it at a 45 degree angle.

Lastly, punch out a custom gift tag using white cardstock and the Fiskars Tag Maker. This tool makes it easy to create tags perfect for gifts and other crafts in three quick, simple steps. Isn’t it beautiful?
