Simple Wreath DIY

I was impressed with how many of our neighbors were very prompt with decorating their homes and trees the day after Christmas! Only 22 says left! We got our Christmas tress yesterday and as always I need to trim the bottom branches off. Don't throw them away!!

I swear this requires minimal artistic talent.

 begin threading the stems into the wreath (always go one direction)

 and you should end up with this:

 I trim them if needed so they are more circular

 and voila (yes the stockings are too far to the right - I will get to that :):
