This holiday season, grab some greenery and wire and make these mini wreaths to put on top of an extra special gift. The wreaths are also great for decor as well, a little gift topper bonus! Almost as good as getting a piece of candy on a gift when you were a kid.
Here’s how to make them…
Supplies: Greenery (we used olive and bay leaves), berries, floral wire, thicker metal wire for the wreath structure, glue gun (optional for perfecting the leaves)
1. Take a piece of thick wire and make a circle depending on how large you want your mini wreath to be (how big is the gift you’re giving??
2. Take one piece of greenery at a time and wrap the stem end onto the thick wreath wire with floral wire
3. Tie in some berries as well with the floral wire
4. Secure with more wire to string on your gift or a dab of glue
Or you can hang it as decor!

Hi Nora! Ps beautiful name, can I add it to my baby girl name list? Thanks for your note!
how long do these stay green?
Good question- we made them on Monday and they still look awesome. I think both of these would dry out nicely and still look pretty
Love the look of the Olive + Bay leaves that were used. Making these ASAP!
