Making a Christmas Wreath - Part 2
There is absolutely no right or wrong way of decorating your wreath. If you use a waxflower, save some of it and store it in a bucket of water somewhere cool so you can replenish it.
Really good secateurs are essential for this project as you want the spikes to be very clean and solid. It's important to take a step back and see how an arrangement is looking. If it's going on a door that you use all the time, do make it as secure as you possibly can.
When you are near the end, put it on your door and look at it in-situ. I recommend hiding any sections that are very stalky with smaller and pretty bits. If you have thicker wire you can pierce through the stem and wrap it around. You can buy the VV Rouleaux double sided-ribbon here.
