Prep Wreath & Stems
First fluff the wreath, and if you have the same wreath that I bought, remove the pinecones. One of the pinecones would be hidden behind the bow. It would also make the other pinecones uneven next to the bow. They are attached with wire, and you can just unwind them.

Attach Greenery & Picks
You can attach the greenery to the wreath with hot glue or with pipe cleaners or floral wire. I used hot glue.
I attached the piece of glittery white stems to the Christmas wreath first. Squeeze a little hot glue to the ends and place them on the wreath. I added four pieces and spread them out evenly.

Add Berries & a Bow
Next, to add a little color to the wreath, add some berries. I removed bunches of them from picks that I had stashed around. Add hot glue to the ends and scatter them around the wreath.

That’s it! Hang your gorgeous Christmas wreath with pride!
This wreath was so inexpensive to make and it looks great hanging on my kitchen cabinet. Once I finish the second one, I’m going to hang it on the opposite side of the stove and microwave. I’ll update with pictures as soon as it’s finished. Can you believe this wreath cost $3?! You can keep using this wreath through February by swapping out the bow or removing it completely. The berries can also be taken off to remove all traces of the red that marks most Christmas decor. Gorgeous decor for three months for $3? Yes please!
