The understated beauty of clusters of red berries accented with a snowy white ribbon makes this sweet little wreath a timeless addition to your collection of treasured keepsake ornaments. Holly or canella berries may be substituted for the pepper berries.

You will need:

• Floral tape in green
• 3 inch diameter Styrofoam ring
• Pepper berry branches
• 1/2 inch floral pins
• Hot glue gun and glue sticks
• 1/3 yard of 5/8 inch wide wire-edged organdy ribbon in white
• Scissors
• Ornament hook

To make:
1 Wrap floral tape around entire surface area of ring. Lay flat on clean work surface, wrong-side up.

2 Break branches into small lengths and attach to styrofoam ring, using floral pins. Cover pins with berries, attaching them with glue gun. Repeat until ring and pins are covered.

3 Gently turn wreath over and repeat step 2. Berries are delicate; do not press down on wreath. If berries come loose, reattach using glue gun.

4 Tie organdy ribbon to a floral pin, making knot at midpoint of ribbon. Tie a bow and trim edges with scissors if necessary.

5 Push floral pin to secure if necessary. Arrange bow and berries to cover insertion site of hook.
