Final Thoughts

• Make sure your leaves are fully dried, any lingering moisture could cause them to rot and fall apart prematurely.
• Experiment with different types of leaves to add texture and variety to your wreath. Eucalyptus leaves, for example, are a great addition that adds a unique fragrance to your wreath.
• If you don't have a wire frame, you can use a foam ring or create one using floral wire.
