Spring is finally here! Wreaths are a great way to liven up your front porch, infusing the colours and spirit of the season. Making your own wreath is a fantastic way to ensure the size, fullness and style are exactly what you are looking for, with the added benefit of pride for all your hard work! Boxwood wreaths are a popular spring option, but can also remain part of your front porch décor throughout the summer months.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Lay all material on a spacious surface, ensuring your glue gun is plugged in.

Apply hot glue to the end of each stem and weave the stem between the wood vines of the wreath ring.

Using craft pliers remove the boxwood stems from the entire garland and place in piles. You will need all the stems from the garland!

Work your way around the entire ring to ensure each stem is placed slightly on top of the next.

*Material list created for a 18 inch ring, please adjust for different size wreaths.
