You’ll want to make thicker bundles for a garland that will sit on a wide dinner table.
Make long, thin bundles if the garland will sit on a narrow mantel.
Place a bundle or two on your surface before finishing all of them to test the length and thickness.

The second bundle should sit about halfway down the first bundle, covering its wire and stems.
Continue this process until the DIY greenery garland is almost as long as you plan for the finished piece.
This will become the end of the garland.

Bind the stems with wire or tape.
Continue filling with individual pieces until you’re happy with the fullness.
Use longer pieces to add width to the garland if it’s thinner than you like.

Or use shorter sprigs to cover areas without adding extra width.
