This project is part of HGTV's eight easy Christmas crafts to create.

Materials and Tools:

small faux green apples
red-and-white gingham ribbon
large white chipboard or foam-core letters (J,O,Y)

Steps:

1. Gather bare branches from the backyard and cut to create whatever size wreath you wish. Overlap corners of branches to create a rectangle, then secure corners by wrapping them with wire.

3. Add ribbon to the back of large letters to spell "Joy" and suspend them from top of wreath.
