Pink and Green Christmas Wreath

Dusty rose marries dusky green in this subtle, textural wreath.

From the book, Christmas from the Heart

What You Need:

Hang the wreath indoors or place it
outdoors in a protected area. It will
last for weeks.

Fresh 15-inch Fraser fir wreath
8 silver metal reflectors from antique Christmas lights (or candle bobeches)
8 small bunches of green faux berries
Sprigs of dried pepper berries
1 yard of 1-1/2-inch-wide green grosgrain ribbon
1 yard of 3/4-inch-wide pink woven ribbon
Fine-gauge green wire

Instructions:

1. Insert a small bunch of green berries into the center of each metal reflector. Referring to the photograph, wire the berry-topped reflectors to the front of the wreath. Center the pink ribbon over the green ribbon, then weave and wire the ribbons around the wreath; cut the excess ribbons. Combine the excess ribbons and make a single bow; wire the bow over the ends of the ribbons that encircle the wreath.

2. Attach a 6-inch piece of wire to each stem of dried pepper berries. Wire the pepper berries into the wreath, filling in the wreath with as many pepper berries as desired.
