  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Scissors
  • Other accessories: ribbon, burlap, pinecones, twine etc.,

Steps:

Step 1: Visit your local craft store to purchase a natural grapevine wreath and your accessories, or to make it more of a fun experience, take a nature hike and pull some accessories off the trail.

Step 2: Lay your flowers, leaves, and other accessories on the wreath. This will give you a general idea of what your finished product will look like. Fiddle with the layout until you get it just right.
