Dress up a Boxwood Wreath
Use a boxwood wreath for all seasons by changing out the decoration and add a new bow. We used some pretty spring ribbon for a bow and some whimsical raffia carrots.
Equipment
Supplies
- 1 Wreath 21" Square Boxwood Wreath

Instructions
- Decide whether to hang your wreath squarely or diamond shape.
- Make a small floral bundle using stems, picks and/or greenery. Secure bundle with a zip tie.
- Optional: Wrap the bundled stem ends with burlap twine.
- Make a bow using 1-4 styles of ribbon. Tie or secure the bow to the floral bundle.
- Secure the bundle to the wreath using floral wire, or a floral pick. Add extra wire or chenille stems to secure to bundle to the wreath and to help keep it from flopping foward or to the side.
- When the season or occasion changes, just pop off the bundle and add a new one!

Notes
Make a small hand-tied bow if you like without using a bowmaker. They are just listed for your information. Also making a small bow is a great way to use up your scrap ribbon.
