1

Start by finding an old wire clothes hanger. Slowly start to bend and pull the hanger until you have a basic circle shape. No need for it to be perfect, since the wood beads hide any imperfections. Using wire cutters, clip off the "hanger" portion of the wire so that each end of the circle is free.

Once you have your wire circle shape, you can start adding gorgeous wooden beads to it. I used a pattern of two larger beads and then three medium sized beads for my wreath.

Once the wire is full of beads, simply tuck the each end piece of wire into the beads on the other side to form a complete circle. Secure it all with hot glue.

Now that the basic wooden bead wreath is made, it's time to add some lovely floral pieces to it! I took apart the Floral Bouquet with mixed Greens and the Boxwood with Berry Picks for most of the flowers.

Start by hot gluing your main flower to the wreath form and then add a few sprigs of eucalyptus around it. Next, fill in empty spots with a few boxwood pieces. Finally, add in the sweet white berries that come with the boxwood.
