I have boxwood bushes at my new home. They are badly in need of shaping and trimming so that will be a project for spring but, I did trim off enough branches to make this wreath.
With the guidance of friend Joanie, I cut branches about 9" long and made small nosegay-size bundles (about 3 branches each). It took 21 nose-gay bundles for this 16" size.
Using a wire frame, I attached each bundle to the frame, layering each new addition over the stems of the previous bundle.
After I got done fluffing, I gave the stray pieces a little hair cut.
I bought a package of these flexible wire fasteners to use for attaching the nose-gay bundles to the wire frame.
Of course, add a big bough!
