How to Make a Boxwood Wreath

* Boxwood branches (fresh or faux)

* Floral wire

* Wire cutters

* A wreath form (any shape you like)

* Ribbon or twine (optional)

Instructions

1. Prepare the boxwood branches. If you're using fresh boxwood, cut the branches into 6-inch pieces. If you're using faux boxwood, simply separate the branches from the stems.

2. Create a wire loop. Cut a piece of floral wire about 12 inches long. Fold it in half and twist the ends together to create a loop.

3. Attach boxwood sprigs. Taking one boxwood sprig, wrap the floral wire around the base of the sprig and twist it to secure. Continue adding boxwood sprigs to the wire, twisting the wire between each sprig to create a wreath.

4. Continue wrapping until the wreath is full.

5. Form the wreath. Secure the end of the floral wire to the wreath form by wrapping it around the wire base of the wreath form and twisting it to secure.

6. Add ribbon or twine. If desired, add ribbon or twine to the wreath by tying it around the wire base and making a bow.

7. Hang your wreath. Hang the wreath on your door, wall, or mantel to enjoy!
