  1. Make two or three loops around the top of the wreath with floral wire and then make a small loop at the top (figure A). The small loop will become the hanger for the wreath.

  2. Hot-glue the shells to the foam wreath as desired. Make sure to fill in any spaces where the foam shows, especially on the sides.
