How to Make an Olive Wreath

## Olive Wreath

Olive wreaths are often used as a decorative symbol of peace, wisdom, and friendship. It is a simple craft to make, requiring just a few resources and a little bit of time.

Materials:

* 20-30 olive branches, about 12-18 inches long

* Floral wire

* Green floral tape

* Scissors

Instructions:

1. Start by prepping your olive branches. Remove any leaves or twigs from the lower half of each branch. This will help the branches lay flat against each other when assembled into a wreath.

2. Bend one of branches into circular shape. Overlap the ends by 2-3 inches and secure them with a piece of floral wire.

3. Continue adding olive branches to the wreath form, overlapping them slightly and securing them with wire. Work your way around the entire wreath until it is filled out and all the olive branches are in place.

4. Once the wreath is complete, wrap the floral wire with green floral tape to hide it.

5. Hang your olive wreath on a wall, door, or window to enjoy!

Your olive wreath is now complete and ready to display! It will make a beautiful and meaningful decoration for any occasion.

Tips:

- To make a more substantial wreath, use more branches than what is listed in the materials list.

- If you want a larger wreath, simply use longer olive branches.

- You can add other decorations to your wreath, such as ribbons, bows, or flowers.

- Olive wreaths are a great gift for friends and family.
