Attach garland
Lay garland on vine wreath. Attach garland to wreath with wire (or hot glue) at 6 inch intervals. If garland is too long, either cut off the excess or loop around the wreath twice.

Tip: Using wire to attach material will facilitate easy changes, while attaching items with hot glue will hold them more securely.

Attach decorations
Arrange decorations (small birdhouse and scarecrow used here) and attach with wire or hot glue. Attach floral picks in the lower 1/3 of the wreath (4 picks shown at right). Tie several strands of raffia into a bow and attach to the bottom of the wreath.

Hang
Hang your wreath and enjoy the fall!

Tip: After determining the 'top' of your wreath you can attach a hanging loop (made from picture wire, strong twine, fishline, or a piece of coat hanger wire) to the back of the wreath.
