Instructions
 

  • Using gardening shears, trim clippings of a boxwood bush in 6-8” lengths.
  • Cut a few 4” long pieces of floral wire to have ready for assembling.
  • Gather about 5 clippings of boxwood or one fuller bunch and hold it against the grapevine wreath. Secure them to the wreath about ⅓ of the way from the bottom of the boxwood with floral wire.
  • Next, take another bunch and layer it over top of the first bunch covering the cut ends. Secure with floral wire.
  • Continue working all the way around the wreath until grapevine wreath is fully covered.
  • Once done, fill in any gaps with extra clippings of boxwood.
  • Hang the wreath to trim any uneven ends and make the wreath symmetrical.
