Wrap it around a few times and twist the ends of the wire. Make sure the loop is secure.Secure the ends by pushing them into the back of the swag

     

    2. Glue moss on each side of the middle of the swag using a glue gun. Let dry

    4. Cut your berry garland into 7  - 3"  piece.  Hang your swag up at this point so you can see how will look . Then add the berry garlands . Use the floral wire to attach them under the moss in the middle.


    5. Make a raffia bow and glue to the center.
