1. Put a dab of glue on the backs of the buttons. Fasten the buttons to the wreath, placing them about one inch apart. Use your imagination, glue some small white buttons onto some larger buttons.
2. Leaving a 7 inch long tail at the start, wrap the red ribbon around the wreath. Let the ribbon lie bewteen the buttons as you wrap it. Then tie the ribbon ends.
3. Leaving a 7 inch long tail at the start, wrap the green ribbon around the wreath in the opposite direction. Let the green ribbon overlap the red ribbon to form X's between the buttons. Tie the green ribbon ends.
4. Hold the ends of the red and green ribbons together and tie them into one bow. Loop an 11 inch long green thread around the top of the wreath. Knot the ends to make a loop for hanging.
