The natural appearance and lifelike texture of artistically crafted moss, twigs, and twine make our natural twigs preserved moss wreath a suave choice and a perfect foundation for making a woodland-style Christmas wreath.

- Natural twig preserved moss wreath;
- Orange silk artificial peonies;
- White silk iris flowers;
- Faux eucalyptus stems;
- Scissors;
- Hot melt glue gun.
Instructions
- Since our peonies and iris flowers come with long stems, firstly, cut off the excess stems with leaves still on. The shorter the stems, the easier it will be to work with them.
- Once the flowers are ready, start inserting them on the twig wreath. Begin with the peonies and apply a dab of hot glue onto a stem to secure it in between the twigs.
- As soon as you are done with the peonies, arrange our silk iris flowers on either side of your peonies and glue them just as you did for the peonies.
- Next, you’ll need to cut some individual stems from our faux eucalyptus and place them on either side of your floral arrangement. Glue each stem to the twig wreath to secure them in place and you’re done! The half-exposed twig wreath will look exceptionally beautiful while complementing your rustic style décor perfectly.
