This wreath can be made to use on the table and hang on the wall when not in use.
Take about 12 inches of the florist wire and at the 10 o'clock position, wrap it around the wreath securely. Then go to the 2 o'clock position and wrap the end tightly. In the middle of the wire, twist it so you have a loop that you can use to hang the wreath when not in use.
When you are placing the ribbon, make sure you leave the 1, 4, 7 and 11 o'clock positions open as this is where the candle cups will be placed. Be sure and cover where the florist wire is.
Take some of the purple ribbon and wrap it around the wreath, leaving large gaps between. Tie off the purple ribbon.
Take the green ribbon, which should be much longer than the purple, and wrap it in the places where there is no purple ribbon, or overlap it slightly. Come to the bottom of the wreath at the 6 o'clock position and tie off the ribbon in a nice, big bow. If you have a Bowdabra Bow Maker, you can use it.
You can use some of the floral pins to secure the ribbon if needed.
If you are going to hang the wreath when not in use, now is the time to heat up your glue gun.
Take the candle cups and place them at 1 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 7 o'clock and 11 o'clock positions. Put hot glue on the bottom of the candle cup, and press the candle cups securely into the wreath, making sure they are upright and straight..
For presentation, lay the poinsettia wrath inside the completed wreath, and place the candles inside the candle cups, with the pink candle at the 1 o'clock position. Place the large white candle in the center.
To hang, remove the candles and the center wreath, and use the loop made from the florist wire.
Have a wonderful Advent!
Notes
Since this is the Advent of the Baby Jesus, Santa, reindeer, etc., are not appropriate for this wreath. Use those for the wreath on your door. You can use other colors if you wish. You could substitute the green ribbon with a thinner pink one, 7/8" would be good. You could also use a 1 1/2 inch white ribbon instead of the green ribbon.
