First, use pruning shears to cut small pieces of evergreen off of a larger bunch. Create a small circle with floral wire and wrap with the small pieces of greenery, using more floral wire to bind in place. Hang mini wreaths from the ceiling or mantel with red ribbon for the ultimate holiday bliss!

Begin by soaking a small cube of floral foam in water. Once fully saturated, place the foam in a large vase and poke large pieces of evergreen in the foam. Polish off with small ornaments and place in the center of the table for a perfect mini tree.
