Prepare the Greenery:

Start with a flocked garland as the foundation. Fluff the branches to ensure even coverage.

If your garland isn't flocked, use flocked picks to add a snowy effect.

Assemble Decorative Bundles:

Take 3-4 decorative stems (such as magnolias, textured leaves, and frosted picks) and arrange them to create a mini-bundle.

Layer elements: Place larger leaves or branches at the back and smaller, textured pieces at the front.

Use zip ties to secure the bundle at the base.

Repeat until you have 4-5 bundles, depending on the length of your garland.

Align and Secure Bundles:

Lay out the garland flat and space the bundles evenly along its length. Place one at each end, with the rest evenly distributed.

Use zip ties to attach each bundle securely to the garland. Ensure the bundles overlap slightly to avoid gaps.

Adjust Placement:

Fluff and bend stems to create a full, dimensional look. Pull some branches upward for height and let others cascade for width.

Incorporate Magnolias:

Wire or zip tie the magnolia flowers into the garland. Position them between bundles, ensuring they’re evenly spaced.

Alternate placement to balance the design visually.

Include Frosted Crab Apples:

Add frosted crab apples near the magnolias or as standalone accents. Wire them securely to prevent shifting.

Place Snowflakes and Ornaments:

Insert snowflake picks sporadically throughout the garland for sparkle.

If using ornaments, wire them in clusters near the magnolias or between bundles to create focal points.

Cut Ribbon Lengths:

Use 18-24-inch lengths of wired ribbon. Fold them into loops or cascading tails for added texture.

Attach Ribbon:

Tuck ribbon into the garland, securing it with floral wire or zip ties. Allow it to weave through the bundles naturally.

Secure and Fluff:

Ensure all elements are securely attached. Adjust any pieces that appear flat or hidden.

Check Balance:

Step back to assess the overall design. Make adjustments as needed for symmetry and fullness.
