Petite Cranberry Wreath

16-20 1/4 inch diameter x 16 inch length twigs or dowels
floral wire
1 bag of fresh cranberries
6-10 small limes (cocktail or key limes)
5 fresh figs
hot glue gun
holly berries (fresh or artificial)
bailing wire

1. Divide the dowels/twigs into groups of four or five. Secure the twig bunches with the bailing wire two inches from each end.
2. Attach the twig bunches to each other in the shape of a square, overlapping each end by two inches.
3. String the cranberries and tiny limes on to pieces of floral wire that are 24 inches long.
4. Wind the strung cranberries into a circle the size of the square twig frame. Add layers of strung cranberries to build up the wreath.
5. String a few figs with wire and add them to the wreath.
6. Glue artificial or fresh holly berries (warning: fresh holly is poisonous) in the bare spaces to fill in and add a finishing touch.
