I made the wreath. I read it a couple of times and found it confusing. So, I did one step at time and just that individual instruction/step. It took me about 6-8 hours to make it. It turned out beautiful. Wrapped it in tissue paper, and put it away. I will see what next year will bring and the shape it is in. I might have to spritz it a wee bit. Planning on making a Univ. Tex wreath for my daughter. Enjoy all. If you have a question ... email me.. and I will see if I can make it clearer than mud. It turns out beautiful.
