Assembly

• Place the two wreath bases together with wrong sides facing each other (the right sides should be facing outward).
• Using the long tail from one base and a tapestry needle, whip stitch the two bases together. Insert your needle through the top loops of the stitches on both pieces, working your way around the entire circle. Leave a small opening (about 2-3 inches).
• If desired, insert a wire wreath frame or a sturdy cardboard ring cut to size into the opening to give the wreath structure and help it hold its shape. Continue sewing the opening closed.
• Now, attach all the embellishments to the front of the wreath. Sew the 6 pine sprays evenly spaced around the wreath, pointing outward. Sew the 6 holly leaves in between the pine sprays. Attach the 6 red berries and 6 white berries in clusters near the leaves. Finally, sew the 3 acorns in a pleasing arrangement.
• To create a hanging loop, cut a 6-inch length of Forest Green yarn. Fold it in half and sew the ends securely to the back of the wreath. Weave in all remaining ends.

Your Enchanted Forest Wreath is now complete! Hang it with pride and enjoy the cozy, magical woodland feel it brings to your home.
