    When creating this wreath, think beyond berries. Pussy willows or other decorative branches work just as well, and may be more complementary to the surrounding decor.

    Debbie Stapley uses wired decorative branches to create a simple -- yet festive -- wreath with a natural appearance.

    Materials:

    Fake berry branches
    Wire Cutters

    1. Bend wired branches into desired shape.

    2. Twist ends together until wreath is solidly connected. Add more branches as desired and continue to connect to existing branches.

    3. Cut away any excess material.
