Note

- - You can buy decorated roses and a red berry wreath base, so you need less time.
Another tip to save time: use floral foam wreath but be careful: you'll need more ivy and berry sprigs! - - The circular wire support must be very hard. If you find a wire with a diameter of only 1.4 mm, remember to triple it.
