Miniature Evergreen Wreath Ornaments - Garden Therapy

I don’t really know why but this holiday season I’ve been making everything in miniature. It started with these tabletop Grinch trees, a smaller version of the 9-foot Grinch tree I decorated previously. Then the tree got even smaller with a teeny-tiny, mushroom-decorated, outdoor, Christmas tree for the gnomes, who I also made in miniature. And now miniature evergreen wreaths.

Materials

• Evergreen clipping
• Bypass pruners
• Scissors
• Miniature decorations: ribbon, pinecones, seed heads, and glue sticks

Make it!

Start with a fairly for pliable clipping from an evergreen. Leaves from cedar and false cypress are soft and easy to form. Bend the clipping around so that the tip overlaps the cut end. Wind floral wire tipped with red berries around the two ends to secure it.

Continue wrapping wire around the wreath until you have all the little leaves tucked in.

Trim the wreath with scissors to clean it up and make a nice round form.

Add decorative elements like seed heads miniature pinecones and other things found around the garden with a hot glue gun.

You can also use ribbon to decorate the wreath.
