Step-by-Step Easy Guide to Making a Stunning DIY Christmas Wreath from Dried Eucalyptus  

1. Prepare the Dried Eucalyptus Branches 

To make an awe-inspiring Xmas wreath with dried Eucalyptus for Christmas decor, begin by trimming the preserved/dried eucalyptus branches to your preferred size and shape. Make sure to remove any loose leaves or twigs for a clean and polished appearance.

 2. Attach the Dried Eucalyptus to your Wreath Base 

Take a mixed bunch of different stems of dried eucalyptus (with longer, flared branches facing away and spanning out from the Wreath’s inner circular base) and secure them to the wreath base using floral wire. Position them so that they cover the base while showcasing the natural beauty of the different eucalyptus varieties.

 3. Layer the Dried Eucalyptus Branches 

Continue adding dried eucalyptus branches to the base, slightly overlapping them as you work your way around the dried wreath. This layering creates a lush and full look.

 4. Customise Your Design 

 Make your dried Christmas wreath stand out by arranging the dried eucalyptus branches evenly or in an asymmetric design, depending on your style and preference. Add your preferred assortment of Christmas ornaments if you want. We suggest adding dried bunny tails to your Xmas wreath for that wow factor.
