Dress your entry door with a handmade wreath and embrace the Christmas spirit.

What you will need

• Monkey vine wreath;
• Fresh or artificial flowers;
• Fine-gauge floral wire
• Thick satin ribbon;
• Removable adhesive Hook

1. Gather several small bunches of the chosen blooms and attach them to the wreath using floral wire. Vary the direction the flowers face.
2. Position flowers randomly around the wreath for a contemporary look. Spritz the flowers with water to keep them looking fresh.
3. Hang the wreath with a loop of ribbon on the hook.

Tip: Use hearty native flowers for the wreath such as Honesty and Blushing bride.
