Hello! I've got another wreath tutorial to share with you today! I think this boxwood wreath might be my favorite.
This is what you will need to make your own boxwood wreath:
Boxwood clippings (I cut mine from my yard)
A wire hanger
Floral wire
Wire cutters
Ribbon (optional)
First, take your hanger and pull the bottom portion until it forms an oval.
In order to cover the hanger, use two longer clippings together and wire them to the hanger. Make sure to tuck the wire under the leaves so that it is not as visible.
Work your way around the hanger, making sure to keep the leaves facing the same direction so that it looks neat. Cut the top portion off of the hanger and attach your ribbon. You're done!
I've made quite a few of these already for our home and like the little splashes of green they add. I'm hoping they dry well and stay green enough to keep things merry and bright all winter long!
Thank you for reading. See you soon!
