- Then fix the roses on the red wreath using the hot-glue pistol.

Note
- We specified no amount for all the materials because they depend on the size you need. You can use other Christmas decorations and more roses, if you want.
- 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.
- Apply some good chair felt pads on the back of your wreath to avoid damaging the door.
