If you would like to create your own wreath, you will need to begin by preparing your eucalyptus. Firstly separate out the branches using scissors to cut the stems down into smaller pieces. Then start placing the eucalyptus sprigs into a wreath form. The idea is to have all the eucalyptus leaves and stems flowing in the same direction around the wreath. You can create a thick or very thin version of a wreath to decorate front doors or dining tables. Keep adding eucalyptus until the entire wreath is filled up and looks like it has an even density of leaves. Once the wreath is finished, you can either place it vertically at your front door or alternatively as a table decoration. If you are using candles, make sure you never leave them unattended, as dried Eucalyptus can catch fire very easily.
