step 01

First, I got my hot glue gun heating up, Then I decided what mix of floral pieces I wanted for each wreath. The small and large hoop got evergreen, mauve cynara stems which almost look like pinecones, gold berry stems, and the white ranunculus spray flowers. The mid-sized hoop got pinecone stems and the mistletoe.

I separated some of the floral stems into single pieces which would be easier to wrap and arrange than the entire floral pick.

  step 02

Start gluing & twisting the florals onto the bottom of the hoop. I started with the evergreen for the smaller and larger hoops and just twisted the metal wire around the hoop at the bottom, adding glue to secure. Glue the first pieces to the hoop — the following pieces can be secured to the pieces before them. You'll want to use very small dots of glue so that your wreath doesn't become a hot glue mess with glue visible between your floral elements.

step 03

I added elements one-by-one twisting and gluing them closer towards the middle. Each element took multiple dots of glue to secure it to the shape I wanted. Once in the middle, I attached a larger element to cover the twisted / glued pieces — like a flower, pinecone, or leaf.

I went for an asymmetrical feel, with larger and smaller elements still balancing out both sides, but you can totally do a more symmetrical wreath if that's more your style.

step 04

Make sure all pieces are secured in place, adding little dots of glue where needed. Once the glue has cooled, hang your wreath up! I used small nails and staggered mine up the entryway wall with the smallest on top down to the larges at the bottom.

These would be perfect for a stair wall or a space where there is a lot of height.
