You will need:

● wire wreath frame
● greenery
● florists' wire
● scissors
● sprigs of berries
● hot glue gun or super glue
● thin red ribbon

To make:

Place the wreath flat on a table. Begin by tying the greenery, evenly, all around the wreath using the wire. Arrange the berry sprays to your liking (this needs to look quite sumptuous) and weave them in among the greenery, using the wire to tie in the stems, then the hot glue to fix the berries in place. Tie a decorative thin ribbon around the top of the wreath. Use artificial berries for a longer-lasting wreath.
