Sweetie Glass Ornament
Candy Swirls Spray
Wreath Frosted Spruce

Step One:
Using wire, Pierce the snowman to create an anchor and thread it through the wreath to secure it, this should cause the head should sit in the middle of the wreath. Bring the wire all the way through the back of the wreath and secure it to the foam.

Step Two:
Now begin building up the design with candy cane decorations using the same method.

Step Three:
Cut of some of the candy cane swirls and place them into the design, you don’t need to use wire for this.

Step Four:
Then add some of the glass sweetie ornaments to the wreath using the same wire.

Step Five:
Add a bow at the bottom of the wreath and hang a candy ornament from it, then secure the bow with wire. This will create more visual interest and add a moving element to the wreath.

Step Six:
Finally, using the same ribbon as the bow, make a hanger for the wreath.
