    Take small to medium-sized poinsettia artificial flowers and cut the stems to about 6". Shove the stems through the wreath so that they come out the back. Bend the stem over to lock the flower in place with no need for adhesives. This is especially great if you like to mix up your décor from year to year. Just unbend the flower stems and pull out of the wreath to swap out next year!
