How to make it
Step 1
Cut twigs of around 20cm from the dwarf cypress. Attach the twigs to the frame one by one using a piece of thin fishing wire. Keep repeating this and building up all around until the wreath is complete and you are happy with the result. Make sure that the frame is no longer visible.
Step 2
Decorate the wreath with Helleborus flowers. To keep the flowers beautiful, use small water tubes. Put the flowers in a tube filled with water and hide the tubes between the branches of the dwarf cypress. Use the red berry branches of the holly to complete the picture. If a tube still shines through here and there, you can disguise it with the holly.
Step 3
Tie the wreath to a ribbon. Secure the ribbon with a hook or tape and hang the wreath in a place of your choice. By hanging the wreath on a wall or door with a contrasting colour (as in our example), you create an especially beautiful effect.
