Wreath and Balls How-To
1. Pull catkins off of pussy-willow stems. Use a low-temperature glue gun to place a dab of glue on wreath form or foam balls, and then gently press a catkin into glue using tweezers; repeat until entire surface is covered. 

2. After glue dries, run ribbon through wreath, and tie to form a generous loop for hanging. Balls may be set on shelves or nestled inside baskets, bowls, or glass containers (as shown).
