Making live Christmas wreaths for the coming holiday season

Hi Gardening Friends

Well here is some information if you would like to make a live wreath for the coming Christmas and Holiday Season.This is a great wreath that you can make for yourself or you can make the wreath for your friends as a great gift?

Wouldn't your family and friends be impress that you made such a lovely wreath with your own hands. Here is what you need to make this wreath.

What you need to make a live wreath.

a 8 inch to 12 inch EZ ring wire circular wreath that you can buy on the internet.

b.Pruning shears

c. You need about a half bushel of any evergreen Shrub cuttings that you would want to make a wreath out of. Make cutting about 4 to 6 inches long.

Now what you do is take your wire ring and lay out the cutting around the ring

after you do that repeat the process until your wreath ring is full of evergreen cutting. Now take the wires at the sides of the rings and bend them over the cutting to hole the cutting into the wreath ring. Now you get that done you can

make you bow with any size ribbon that you want. But the best size to use is

ribbon that is size 2.5 " x 10 y . You can get 3 bows out of this one roll of ribbon.

Each bow takes 3 yards to make one bow so this roll haves ten yards so you

really only need 9 yards of ribbon out of the 10 yards of ribbon that is on the roll.

So I hope you can try to make your own live wreath for your home or to give to a friend as a gift. Making wreaths helps to brighten up the day and people really enjoy them to. Hope this information helps you in making holidays decorations

for your home. Happy Holidays
