See the Tutorial below for detailed instructions on how to weave a wreath.
Gather the net in the middle.
Pull the net through the wreath and fan it open. Pin the net to the wreath and glue.
Tie ribbon to the wreath. I used two lengths of ribbon folded in half.

Knot the ribbon at the top to combine. Adjust if the basket is not hanging straight.
Fluff out the net to open the basket
Glue the twigs and tiny flowers to the wreath to decorate
