Weave a frosted pine cone Christmas wreath

A twiggy base is a great starting point for a festive, rustic design

Twist together waxy-leaved evergreens, berried shrubs or dried
winter stems - frosted pine cones, hips, twigs and catkins - that will last outside and without water for several weeks. Finish with a frosting of snow spray.
