Juniper-and-Pepperberry Garland

Pepperberry stems are sold on the branch or loose by weight; about 20 to 25 bunches of berries were used to make the two wreaths and the garland shown here. (The berries are for decorative purposes, not for consumption.)

Tools and Materials
1/2-inch sisal rope
26-gauge floral wire, juniper stems
15-inch vine wreath form
Pepperberry sprigs
Hot-glue gun

Juniper-and-Pepperberry Garland and Wreath How-To
1. Cut rope to length finished garland will be, leaving 8 to 12 inches at either end; wind floral wire around one end. Strip foliage from bottom third of juniper stems. Starting at top of rope, hold stems against rope base, tips pointing upward, and wrap wire paddle tightly around rope and stems four to five times. Continue to add greenery, interspersed with pepperberry stems, overlapping each addition to hide wire. Turn garland often. Tie rope ends to newel posts; use floral wire to secure to banister.

2. For wreaths, insert pepperberry into vine forms; use hot glue to secure. Add sprigs until wreath is uniformly covered.
