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;

  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.

how exactly do you make the wreath so that it stays together?
Where can one get Monkey Vine??
If you have a Willow tree cut the fine branches and you can twine them to make the wreath. It is easy to bend when its Green, also cheap. Looks great with any decorations for any time of the year. Gum nuts, dry or silk flowers etc
