Fresh, recently collected branches are easily bent, but dry and old, which are easy to break, are recommended to first soak in boiling water so that they go easier. At the collection stage, choose thin branches that it is easier to bend. Recommended to take Berezu, for the lack of her - IVA.
When the branches are prepared, you need to decompose them on the table. Next, to separate so many sticks from the total weight of the branches as needed to create the easiest layer of wreath and decompose them on the working surface so that they form the shape of the wreath. At this stage, you can decide on the size of the wreath. Now the subtle ends of the branches must be combined with thick ends, as if the head to the legs. Then with thin ends wrap thick branches.
Next, go to the stage of strengthening the wreath, gradually tired by its new branches and increasing its volume. Little twigs need to be hiding inside the wreath so that they are not sticking out. Now that your wreath is solid enough and does not scatter in their hands, it should be additionally precluded with a wire for reliability. Cut extra wire, and the ends hide behind the back of the wreath. Further wreath can be decorated to your liking.
