Start with a base. You can use grapevine, wire or swag based (figure A). They can be round, square or swag. This wreath has rosemary as a base. Cut the rosemary in 6- to 8-inch lengths and start with the bunches and overlap them, wiring them on as you go (figure B).
Once the wreath is covered with the rosemary, it is your choice what to glue onto the wreath. There are cranberries, pepper berries, dried peppers in various colors, etc.
Edible flowers (dry these with silica gel so they can retain their color) make beautiful arrangements (figure C). If you have someone special in mind, use the things they love as a guide in making your wreath.
