Basic instructions for the default look, a fairly symmetrical holly wreath:
- Set up a work space for gluing; with old cardboard, newspapers, wax paper, or something to avoid getting glue on the furniture
- Glue the 3 rings on top of each other, lining up the slot to match, and being generous with the glue.
- (Consider the top with the slot to be "North" for purposes of the following directions)
- Take 4 leaves, and glue them on top of the ring, at N, S, E, W points, with the longer axis of the leaves pointing radially, and roughly centered on the ring. Make sure the N leaf is not glued in such a way as to cover the hanging slot.
- Take 4 more leaves, and glue them on top of the ring in between the first set, at NE, NW, SE, SW points
- Take 8 more leaves, and glue them on top of the ring in between the previous leaves
- Take 16 more leaves, and glue them on top of the previous leaves, in between. You may wish to offset them a bit to the outside
- Take the bow shape, and glue it on top of the leaves on the bottom (the "South" position), with the arms hanging below
- Take 7 berries, and glue them on top of the leaves at the N, NE, E, SE, SW, W, NW positions
