Steps to make Olive Wreath
Some vines are necessary to make the wreath base to which the olive branches or twigs can be attached. Therefore, for this, we can use grape vine clippings or any other that are available.
Fold the vines over each other to form a circle of desired size.
Tie the overlapping ends with florist wires. Make sure that they are secure.
Cut long twigs of olive leaves and bunch them together.
Tie them on the vine wreath using metal wires (florist wire).
Continue to tie bunches of olive branches on the wreath to cover it completely.
