SIMPLE DIY HOLIDAY WREATH

This is so easy to make!

All you need is:

*a wood gate (or door)

*2 garlands of greens and little pine cones (mine are fake and from Michaels). 

*nails

*Hammer

*florist wire (craft store)

 How-to:

1- tie one end of a garland to the other using florist wire. 

 2- To form the heart: hammer nails lightly in wood at equal distance on each side and secure garland to sides by hammering each nails at an angle to hold the garland tights.  

3- Gather the ends at the bottom with wire and hammer into wood.

**You might not want to do that on a front door but it works well on my old garden gate because it is made of thick rustic boards. I used nails that are thin but long enough to bend against the garland an hold it tight.

***The middle wreath is a store-bought twig wreath to which I added red berries branches by sticking them through the twigs then attached the wreath to the cherub door-knocker.

***I have had the cherub door-knocker for over 15 years but you can find it on line HERE and it's only $15

ENJOY!
