Making a wreath is easier than it looks! Here are my simple
instructions to make a homemade wreath for cheap.
Step One: Look outside and find something growing out of control that
could stand to lose some branches. For me, this is an olive tree in our backyard.
Step Two: Chop off the prettiest and fullest branches.
Step Three: Gather your other supplies you may need, depending on what type of foliage you're using. I ended up only using the lightweight wire and wire cutters, besides the wire hanger, which everyone will need.
Step Four: Shape your wire hanger into a circle. This will be your base. And it comes with a handy hook!
Step Five: Lay out the branches on your circle and wrap wire around the ends.
Step Six: Repeat until you reach your desired thickness.
Voila!

This is beautiful, love it!
This is a great idea for Christmastime -- just chop a couple of branches from the Christmas tree and there you go. I'm gonna do it! Maybe. :)
so fabulous

Pretty, pretty, pretty!
Now this may be a dumb question (?), but does your tree produce olives?
OMG!!! love this so much hollytown!
