1. Cut the tops of the reeds off leaving about 3 inches of stem under the feathery seed reeds.

2. Bunch reeds together into about 1-inch bundles using rubber bands... I used these goody brand hair bands!

3. Place 1st bunch onto the wire wreath, and secure it with floral wire. Don't cut the wire. Wrap the floral wire around the base of the bunch 3-4 times till it does not move.

4. Place the 2nd reed bundle lower on the wire wreath to cover the wires fastening the first bunch.

5. Use the same roll of uncut floral wire to secure the second bunch of feather reeds at the base. Wrap the floral wire around it 3-4 times (till it does not move.)

6. Continue this pattern all the way around your wire wreath, placing a new feather reed bunch about 3-4 inches under each other.

7. When you come to the end, and your wreath is full all the way around, cut the floral wire and tie it off nice and tight.

8. Pull and adjust the feather reeds to cover the wires and wreath, and hang it!
