Editor’s Tip: To decoupage ornaments, cut strips of paper, then brush Mod Podge onto a portion of the ornament and on paper strips. Press and repeat until the ornament is covered, then brush on a top coat of decoupage and let dry. Use florists wire to secure ornaments to the wreath. Editor’s Tip: Assemble the pinecone Christmas wreath first with the flattest elements (like moss), ending with three-dimensional statement pieces (like pods). Hang the wreath a few times during assembly and step back to decide which piece to fill in next. For the Christmas bows: Top your wreath with a handmade bow! Cut eight strips of ribbon long enough to wrap around the wreath. Lay out two pieces of ribbon in an X-shape. Wrap a small length of florists wire around the middle of each X; twist ends together in back to secure. Nestle wire into the wreath. Make three more bows using the ribbon strips. Hot-glue the embellishments on to finish. To make the berries: Craft the cozy red berries using three 1x20 inch strips. Trim one long edge of each strip with pinking shears. Starting at one short end and keeping the long straight edge aligned, roll each strip to make a berry. Secure to the felt using hot glue.
