  • Use wire cutters to cut the end off of the wire (this makes it easier to start wrapping the wreath) and wrap chicken wire tightly around wreath. This is easiest if you have someone to help you hold the wreath in place while you wrap the wire around the first couple of times.
    Continue wrapping until the entire wreath is covered. You will have just enough wire (9') to complete the wreath.
    There will be a lot of rusty dust from the wire. This is normal.

  • When you get to the other end of the wire, tuck the ends into the wire on the back of the wreath.
