Wanted to make sure you saw this....I hadn't seen your question way back in Oct and saw it today and answered on that thread. Was afraid you would miss it though, so here it is.

Thanks so much for the suggestion MI. Sometimes the obvious is pretty difficult to see unless someone points it out.

How do you secure the add ons?

I'm sorry whitelinen, I didn't see this reply way back then. Did you purchase the wreath?

Securing the picks to an premade wreath depends on the type of pick and the wreath base you are supplementing. I look for picks that are made with bendable material as opposed to wood. If your wreath base is wire or even grapevine, you simply poke your pick through and then bend the stem to hook on to the wire or a piece of the grapevine. If your pick is not flexible, you'll need to poke it through at an angle and secure with glue or floral wire. If your wreath base is foam or bundled straw, then I trim the pick so it's just a tad shorter than the depth of the base, put a dab or hot glue on the end and poke it in to the base.
