I have always wanted to try my hand at making a live wreath, but this was my first attempt. We had a lot of greenery left over from trimming our Christmas tree & I happened to have saved my wreath form from last year's wreath. So... I decided that I was going to try to make one. Seriously - it was SO easy that I thought you might enjoy seeing pictures of the process. Maybe you'll decide to try one yourself & then post pictures on your blog! If you do, I'd love to see them, so be sure to leave me a comment.
Step 1: Gather your materials. I used some floral wire, wire cutters, a wreath form (you probably could even make your own out of wire), & something to cut your greenery. I used the only thing I had on hand, which was this: 
Yeah, I know, it would have been much easier to use something a little smaller, but I'm all about using what I have on hand.
Step 2: Start wrapping greenery around your wreath form & attaching with wire. (It was at this point, that I decided to do a quick search online for instructions & found out that I could have totally skipped this step. Oh well....)
Step 3: Gather small bunches of greenery & wire them together at the bottom.
Step 4: Attach each small bundle to your wreath form, layering them as you go.
Step 5: Add a bow, ribbon or whatever you want & hang it up!
