Glue and Go
Dab a little hot glue on the back of a dried orange slice, and stick it onto the wreath form. Keep going until the whole form is covered in citrusy goodness! Want a fuller look? Layer those slices up—more is definitely more! 🍊🎨The Shake Test
Lift your wreath gently and make sure all the slices are snug and secure. If any try to make a break for it, just re-glue them back in place. Easy peasy!Add the Ribbon
Flip your wreath over and attach a ribbon loop to the back. This will be your hanger, so make sure it’s firmly secured.Bow Time! 🎀
Flip the wreath back over and tie a bow with your ribbon. Attach it to the ribbon loop using a little dab of glue, and voilà—you’re done!
The best part is the wreath will last for years if stored in a dry dark place when not in use.
Now go make yourself your favourite cocktail and get crafty.
