Step 2: Grab clumps of the moss and<br />
dip them in water to dampen, then apply<br />
to the ring, attaching with the string<br />
by wrapping the string around the wire<br />
frame and the clumps of moss. Build<br />
up evenly so that you end up with<br />
a ring of moss.<br />
Step 3: Now start attaching a base<br />
layer of the blue spruce. Follow the same<br />
direction as you add each piece of spruce<br />
to maintain an even, balanced look.<br />
Introduce different greenery and carry on<br />
in the same direction aiming for an even,<br />
full looking wreath.<br />

Step 4: Add additional materials such as<br />
feathers, beads or baubles using florist’s<br />
wire pushed through to the back of the<br />
wreath. Twist this wire around part of a<br />
blue spruce stem to secure. Your string<br />
should now be cut and tied to a secure<br />
point or stem on the back of the wreath.<br />
Attach your ribbon with or without a<br />
bow to the wreath and your gorgeous<br />
creation is ready to hang.<br />
