  • Trim some leaves off bits of lycopodium moss. Use the smallest leaves possible.
  • If you don't have lycopodium moss cut a very thin strand of green paper or ribbon, then cut it at an angle to form tiny leaf shapes. You can also cut tiny sections from green thread.
  • Use a pin to apply a layer of glue to the top of the wreath frame you formed in the previous step.
  • Dip the wreath frame, glue side up into the bits of leaves, or add them to the top of the frame with a pair of fine tweezers.
  • Press them gently down into the frame and leave the frame to dry on the tweezers.
