Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using only round elements makes wreaths look flat—always mix at least one trailing or linear element like ribbon or grasses. Skipping a clear focal point causes the eye to wander; place your largest item between 4 and 7 o’clock. Forgetting a hanging loop thicker than 1/8 inch will cause the wreath to tilt on the door.
