  • Add brightly colored micro beads to decorate your wreath and make it stand out from the background. If you are patient, you could also wrap fine gold thread through and around your wreath as a garland if you wish.
  • To add the micro beads, use a pin to apply glue to five tiny spots on the top of your wreath.
  • Set a few micro beads in the lid of the bead container or into the bowl of a spoon or other rounded container.
  • Dip the wreath into the beads glue side down.
  • Gently remove the wreath still on the tweezers, and press the beads into place among the leaves.
  • Set the wreath aside to dry.
