Laser cut the wreath components. You’ll need three 12x12-inch sheets of basswood. We used 3mm basswood, but you can opt for 6mm or even acrylic if you prefer.

• Lay out the three large base pieces and fit them together as shown in the diagram or photo.
• Locate the three smaller connector pieces (2–4 inches in length) and place them over the seams where the wreath pieces join.
• Glue the connectors in place. This side will be the back of your wreath. Let the glue dry completely before proceeding.

Paint all the wreath components in your desired colors.

Here are the colors we used:

• Welcome text: Black
• Text backing: White
• Wreath base: Dark green
• Leaf stems: Light green
• Holly leaves: Emerald green
• Holly berries: Red

Let the painted pieces dry thoroughly before moving to the next step.

• Arrange the six painted leaf stems around the wreath base to create a second layer of leaves. Glue them into place.
• Assemble the holly leaves and berries, gluing them together as clusters.
• Glue the “Welcome” text onto its backing piece. Allow all glued elements to dry.

Carefully arrange all the painted and assembled pieces onto the wreath as shown in the diagram or reference photo. Glue everything securely in place and let it dry completely.

• Locate the two oval hanger pieces and their matching half-oval backing pieces. Glue them together as shown.
• Glue the assembled hangers to the back of the wreath, positioning them evenly on either side near the top.

Loop a ribbon through the hole on each hanger and tie it securely. Adjust the ribbon length based on your preferred hanging height.

Hang your wreath on your door or wall using the ribbon. Enjoy!
