Love the look of evergreen holiday wreaths but hate the price tag? Make your own. It’s easier than you may think.

What you’ll need:

• Fresh evergreen branches
• A wire wreath frame
• Garden clippers
• Wire cutters
• A spool of florist’s wire (also known as paddle wire)
• Ribbon
• Pine cones, berries, ornaments, etc.

Directions:

1. Gather evergreen boughs from your yard or the woods. Spruce, Douglas Fir, pine and cedar work well.

2. Trim the boughs into several six- to eight-inch pieces.

3. Place the wire wreath frame in front of you and tie the end of your florist’s wire to the frame. The location doesn’t matter.
