MATERIALS

Fresh manzanita or eucalyptus branches (A)

22-gauge florist wire (B)

TOOLS

Pruners (C)

Needle-nose pliers with wire cutters (D)

Using the pruners, cut the leaves off the branches, leaving the stems attached to the leaves. Once you’ve amassed one pound of leaves you’ll have enough to begin constructing the wreath.

Cut a length of wire about a foot long.

Make a loop at one end of the wire and twist the end back around the wire a few times to secure it.

Begin threading the leaves onto the wire. Poke the wire through the center of the leaf. Face the leaves in the same direction—there will be one side that is the front. Keep the stems pointed in the same direction, but you can also adjust them later. The wreath looks best when all of the stems face inward. Continue threading the wire through the leaves until you can make a tight circle of leaves with at least a 7-inch diameter.
