Prepare the Succulents

A few days prior to assembling the wreath, trim the succulent pieces from the larger plant. The succulent trimmings should have a stem about 1 to 2 inches long. At this time remove any leaves to keep the new crown tidy. Keep them in indirect light and allow the ends to dry. Tiny roots will soon emerge from where leaves used to be.

Spread out newspaper or crafting paper to protect your work surface. Place a wire wreath form round side down with the "cradle" for the moss facing up. Begin to add the moss.
