Making a large swag of greens, berries, cones and ribbon is really easier than making a wreath. You need greener, I used cedar, boxwood and arborvitae. Arrange the branches in your hand with the longest in the back and shorter toward the front. I usually start with the first layer, wire that then build an X shape from there. Keep adding greens and embellishments wiring each tightly. Finish with a full bow. Make sure to form a loop with your wire on the back for hanging. This one was a little top heavy so I added and extra tie of wire toward the top. This one took about 15 minutes and is about 12' wide and 36" long.
This is just lovely! Thank you for the turtorial!
