Strong stiff wire that can be bent into a ring. We used\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">aluminum wire<\/span> gauge 20, about 55\u201d long\u2013due to the scale of the products in the shot, our wreath was rather large, about 28\u2033 in diameter. A wire hanger is also a simple way to go.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; padding: 0px;\">2.\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ornaments<\/span>.\u00a0We used a total of 81 ornaments. For a smaller version, we\u2019re guessing you could make a 14\u201d\u00a0wreath with about a third of the ornaments depending on how full you wanted it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; padding: 0px;\">3. Strong\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">tape <\/span>to fasten the ends of the wire ring together or, pliers to twist the ends of the wire ring together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; padding: 0px;\">4.\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Ribbon<\/span> to hang the wreath.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; padding: 0px;\"><strong><strong> <\/strong><\/strong><strong>Directions:<br style=\"padding: 0px; margin: 0px;\" \/><\/strong>1. String one ornament at a time onto the wire ring, alternating colors, using smaller ones to fill in the gaps.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; padding: 0px;\">2. When the ring is completely covered in ornaments, fasten the ends together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; padding: 0px;\">3. Use a ribbon to cover the spot where the ends are fastened together, and hang!<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 7px; margin-left: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; padding: 0px;\">Tip: best not to go too large in\u00a0diameter as the wreath could become too heavy and stretch out.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hopefully I will get a picture of mine when I finish it!
