Wreath Seaming
With the WS facing up, place the polystyrene ring in the center of one of the short sides, and sew the two long sides together wrapping your work around the ring.
When the long sides are sewn together, align the seams, and sew the two short sides.
Fasten off and weave in your ends.
Mistletoe Branches
With your 3.5-mm (E/4 US, 9 UK) and 5.0-mm (H/8 US, 6 UK) hooks, crochet 6 mistletoe branches as described HERE. You will need dark green for the stems and the leaves, and white for the berries.
Bow
With your 5.0-mm (H/8 US, 6 UK) hook and red, crochet a bow as described HERE.
Wreath Assembly
Start placing the mistletoe branches over the C2C waffle wreath and sew them in place using a length of dark green.
Keep attaching branches until you have the entire wreath covered.
With a length of red, sew the bow.
Weave in all your ends.
