Miniature Wreaths: A Festive Table Setting

Miniature wreaths make a charming addition to any holiday table setting. They add a touch of festive elegance to each place setting and can be customised to match your decor.

Materials:

• Small wreath frames (wire or grapevine)
• Evergreen sprigs (pine, cedar, fir)
• Red berries (such as holly berries or cranberries)
• Small pine cones
• Floral wire
• Ribbon

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Frame: Ensure your miniature wreath frame is clean and ready for decoration.
2. Attach the Greenery: Begin by attaching evergreen sprigs to the frame using floral wire. Work in a circular motion, ensuring the greenery is evenly distributed.
3. Add Berries and Pine Cones: Secure red berries and small pine cones to the wreath using floral wire. Experiment with different arrangements and placements.
4. Create a Hanging Loop: Attach a small piece of ribbon to the top of the wreath to create a hanging loop.
5. Place on Plates: Place the miniature wreaths on each dinner plate, adding a festive touch to the table setting.

Tips:

• Choose the Right Size: Select miniature wreath frames that are proportionate to your dinner plates.
• Use Fresh or Dried Greenery: Fresh greenery will add a natural fragrance, while dried greenery is more durable.
• Incorporate Personal Touches: Add personalised ornaments or tags to the wreaths.
• Colour Coordination: Choose colours and decorations that complement your overall table setting.
• Experiment with Different Styles: Consider creating rustic, elegant, or whimsical miniature wreaths.

By following these simple steps, you can create beautiful miniature wreaths that will elevate your holiday table setting.
