- Here is a look at everything that was used in this Wreath
- Susan started this Wreath by first adding the Garland throughout the Wreath. She used the branches of the Wreath to attach the Garland.
- Next Susan used a thin piece of Floral Wire to attach the Nutcracker on the left hand side of the Wreath.
- After the Nutcracker was placed Susan moved onto tying the Bow for the Wreath. She layered each one of the Ribbons as she tied the Bow. Starting with the thinnest Ribbon first; she tied two loops of each and left the tails longer to hang down the front of the Wreath. She secured the Bow with a Chenille Stem and then used that same stem to attach the Bow to the Wreath.
- Once the Bow had been added Susan then started adding pieces of the Metallic Leaves Spray throughout the Wreath. She cut individual pieces off of the main stem and then used Hot Glue to secure each piece. She placed them sporadically throughout the Wreath filling in any holes that she found along the way.
