Purchase a wreath frame and a spool of floral wire from an arts & crafts store.
Cut four to six branches from the bottom of your Christmas tree using pruning shears.
Gather up other accent greenery to incorporate into your wreath such as scotch pine, red winterberry holly, arborvitae and/or dogwood.
Cutting
Cut the fresh ends off the branches into lengths of six to eight inches using pruning shears.
Create individual piles of all the different vegetation you’ll be using in your wreath.
Cut fourteen 12-inch pieces of floral wire.
Creating the Bundles
Make about fourteen bundles by clustering together the trimmings from each pile. Layer them on top of each other aligning the stems.
Hold a bundle together with a plastic locking clip over the stems.
Take a 12-inch piece of floral wire and wrap it around the stems pulling it tight, then twist the wire together. Flip the bundle over and do the same on the other side. (See photo.)
