1

Wrap the foam wreath with wired ribbon by adhering the end of the ribbon to the wreath with a dab of hot glue and then wrapping tightly and overlapping slightly as you go. Once you’ve covered the wreath, trim the ribbon and secure with another dab of hot glue.

Cut the honeycomb balls from the garland and add to the wreath with a generous amount of hot glue. I positioned most of the honeycomb balls flat on the top of the wreath, and wrapped a few of them around the edges of the wreath, gluing in place.

To vary the size of the honeycombs you can cut out smaller balls from the original honeycombs with a pair of scissors. Use these to fill in gaps on the wreath between the bigger honeycomb balls.
