    Step 1 - Let's go

    Take the drill and place the walnut on the base.
    Set the drill to a low setting and carefully drill a hole through the top and bottom of the walnut. Make sure you only apply light pressure to avoid breaking the walnut.

    Step 2 - Thread on the walnuts

    Now thread the pierced walnuts onto the wire.
    To make it easier, the wire should be as straight as possible. If the hole is a little too small, you can enlarge it with a needle.

    Step 3 - Close the wreath

    Once all the walnuts are threaded on, close the wreath.
    To do this, bend the ends of the wire together to form a small loop - the best way to do this is with a small pair of pliers!

    Step 4 - Decorate

    Now comes the creative part: decorate the wreath according to your taste!

    Whether it's ribbons, feathers, eggs or twigs - there are no limits.
    To conceal the wire closure, you can tie a pretty ribbon or bow over it, which also serves as a hanger. You can attach twigs with thin florist's wire and feathers can easily be attached to the walnuts with a little superglue.

    And there you have it - your home-made decoration is ready to be admired!
