DIRECTIONS:

Hanger:

1. Cut one 20" length of wire. Fold in half. Feed the folded end through the wire of the wreath and thread the ends through the folded end to secure. Create a 1" loop. Spiral the ends of the wire around the bottom of the loop closest to the wreath. Wrap the ends back through the wreath. Spiral the ends around the loop to keep the wires of the loop together and for added support. Add a piece of tape to the loop. This should extend beyond the wreath. This tape will be a reminder of the center top location.
2. Fluff the branches of the wreath.
Glitter Berry Greenery:

3. Lay the individual stems throughout wreath. Set 7 toward the inner circle of the wreath. Alternate colors. When placement is as desired attach one at a time by spiraling the stem of the pick to the closest wire of the wreath. Immediately apply hot glue around the spiral. Adjust the pine of the wreath to help hold the pick in the desired position.
White Glitter Leaves Red Berry Bush:

4. Cut each into six stems. Tuck the ends of 7 under the 7 Glitter Berry Greenery that was set toward the inner circle of the wreath. Weave the lengths of the picks through the pine. Point the picks angled toward the outer edges of the wreath. Secure the ends with hot glue. Cut the remaining in half, just above the center berry. Equally space throughout the wreath. Tuck the ends under other leaves and secure with hot glue.
Holiday Glitter Berry:

5. Pull apart the picks to keep the longest stems on each. Tuck the ends of each pick equally spaced around the wreath. Hot glue the stems to thicker parts of the wreath. Bend the branches to match the contour of the wreath.
6. Bend all wired parts of the wreath to increase visibility of contrasting colors and shapes within the wreath.

Craft Hack Tips and Tricks:

• Good lighting is most important for a well-crafted wreath.
