Give Christmas a Mediterranean twist with a simple yet sophisticated olive branch wreath. We ordered our branches through a local florist.

Step 1 Bend branches around wire hoop into a circular shape — olive branches are naturally supple and will mould easily into your wreath.

Step 2 Secure sections of olive branches around wreath using garbage bag ties or wire.

Step 3 Create a loop with wire around the top of the wreath so you can hang it up. If you want to hang it lower, thread twine through the wire loop and adjust to your desired length, as we have here.

Step 4 Embellish your wreath with a festive ornament or two... or three... Just keep in mind that the beauty of this wreath lies in its simplicity so don't over decorate!
