1. Prepare the Greenery: Cut branches of your greenery to about 6-8 inches long. Aim for a mix of textures to create depth and variety in your wreath.
    
2. Start Layering: Attach small bundles of greenery to the wreath base using floral wire, overlapping each bundle slightly to cover the stems and create fullness. Continue around the frame until the entire wreath is covered.
    
3. Add Decorations: Now, it’s time to make it festive! Attach pine cones, berries, or ornaments using floral wire, and add a ribbon for an extra holiday touch.
    
4. Fluff and Adjust: Step back and take a look at your wreath. Adjust any branches or decorations for a balanced, full appearance.
