Beginning about twelve inches from the end of the jute , make a small bouquet with your materials and lay it along the jute with the head of the bouquet pointing back to the end of the jute . Note that the fuller these bouquets are , the fuller your garland will be . Using your paddle wire , wrap it tightly around the bunch several times to secure it to the jute . Make another small bouquet and slightly overlap the ends of the first bouquet to hide the wire on the first bouquet . Wire it into place . Don ’ t cut the wire between bunches , but let it run the length of the garland .
