Gather your sticks into thinnish bundles. and secure with twine.
Make about five or five bundles, then join them together in a ring form with the twine.
You can use hot glue if you think the twine isn't going to keep it secure enough.
Now go crazy with decorating!
We like to keep ours rustic and folksy so kept to a few ornamental black crows and skulls.
The florist wire helps to keep things in place.
We stuck plastic skulls onto thin birch twigs and then fed them into the wreath.
THERE IS NO WRONG WAY TO DO THIS!

Wreaths don't have to be only for Yule. AND they don't have to be a perfect circular shape. My daughter and I made an awesome creepy wreath from sticks we gathered in the yard; you can easily forage some fallen sticks at a park or in your neighborhood. Birch is great because it drops lots of dark colored, thin sticks. Birch is also, according to Celtic paganism, the tree for Samhain as it is used for purifying spaces for the coming new year.

Zine: Art Magick for Witches
"Participating in artistic practice is often thought of as an escape; a means of relief from the rigors of modern life. But what if the opposite were true? What if participating in art is forging a channel to our higher selves and the divine that resides in all of us? Could it be an arrival, rather than an escape?
I hope this little guide helps you find the deep connection between your creativity and intuition." - Excerpt from Art Magick for Witches
