– Grapevine Wreath - 18" or 24" – 4 Fresh Cedar Boughs (1 bundle) – 4 Fresh Holly Stems (1 bundle) – Paddle Wire – Ribbon – Bells – Scissors – Garden Pruners – Packing Tape (optional)

Lay your wreath on a flat surface.

Stack ½ of your cedar boughs on one side of the wreath and wrap your paddle wire around the entire wreath securing the branches to the grapevine.

Any wire you can see will be covered with either the other set of boughs or by ribbon, so don't worry about perfection here. Just wind it up nice and tight.

Then stack the other half of the cedar boughs on the other side, overlapping the first set.

Tuck two pieces of holly on each side of the wreath, sliding them into the branches of the cedar.

Then wrap a few rounds of wire followed by packing tape around the middle to hold them all in place.
