HOW TO MAKE A NATURAL CHRISTMAS WREATH 1. Find some young birch saplings or use side branches from bigger trees, the thinner the better as they bend without snapping at this time of year. 2. Strip leaves if the leaves are not wanted or leave on if you like them. 3. Make a wire loop to your required wreath size. 4. Now start weaving the birch around the loop: it may be easier to attach the end of the birch to the loop using florist's wire. Getting it started can be a bit fiddly until you get used to it. 5. Keep adding the birch, starting from a different part of the loop each time until it is evenly covered. Keep adding birch until you obtain the desired width. 6. When you have completely covered the wire with birch you are finished. 7. If you can still see the wire add more birch or other natural decorations such as seed heads or berries. 8. If you are confident that the wreath will stay together you can cut the wire and slide it out. Be warned: this takes practice and perfect birch lengths.
