It's easy to make a wreath in any style. This fillable metal base—combining elements of the Himmeli-inspired geometric shape in a brass finish—can be decorated with fresh flowers, foraged evergreen branches, or small ornaments. We like both Terrain's Fillable Metal Wreath Base ($42, shopterrain.com) and Modlode Geometric Wreath ($95, modlode.com). Hang it on the front door and swap out elements to change as the seasons do. For winter, we used evergreen boughs and vintage Christmas ornaments.

How to do it

Step 1

Using pruning shears, cut the boughs of all evergreen varieties into 6-to-8-inch-long pieces. Lay a small bundle of greenery on the base, and wrap floral wire tightly around the stems three times. Do not cut the wire. Add another bundle, overlapping the previous one by half; wrap wire around the stems. Continue adding bundles until you reach the starting point. (For this wreath, we used sprigs of cedar and juniper, but you can use other evergreen cuttings.) Tuck wire under the form, secure with a knot, and cut using wire cutters. (Tip: We only filled half of our wreath base for a modern, asymmetrical look.)

Step 2

To hang ornaments, thread a five-inch piece of 26-gauge wire through the loop and twist. Then wrap the other end around an evergreen stem.
