I’m a big fan of the project we’re sharing today on the Ten Days of Craftsmas with Shauna Younge Dessert Tables. It’s pretty easy to make (though it may take you a few holly leaves to get a hang of cutting them out) and looks incredibly sophisticated. Want to make it? Read on!

instructions
Beginning from the back of the wreath base, wrap your ribbon around the styrofoam ring, ensuring the ribbon is tight and lays as flat as possible. Secure the open end of the ribbon temporarily with a pearl head pin as you continue wrapping around the wreath base. When the wreath is completely wrapped. cut the ribbon directly over where the original pearl head pin was. Remove the pin and secure both open ends with two pins. Flip the wrapped wreath base so the pins are concealed on the back.
Cut floral berries off their branch with about ½” of wire underneath it remaining. Set aside.
Cut holly leaves out of felt according to the provided template. Iron the leaves in half up to (but not including) the stem so that the leaves form a wide “V”. Ideally you want the leaves to have a little bit of dimension as shown. Arrange leaves in groups of two or three as shown. Secure leaves in place with a little dot of hot glue near the stem area. Take a few berries and press the wire part through the surface of the ribbon into the wreath base near the center of the cluster so that all the wire is hidden. The berries will help secure the holly leaves in place in addition to hiding the area where the holly meets.
Work your way around the wreath, changing up the number of holly leaves, the number of berries, and, if you’ve opted to use more than one berry color as we did, the colors of the berries, until you’ve covered about as much as the wreath as you’d like – we covered a little under one half of the wreath. Hang and enjoy!
