What do you need to do to cut evergreens before you make a wreath with them? I want it to last until New Year

You need a permit from your local forestry office to cut down the evergreen. Newly cut evergreen bows are more flexable and should be put into water immediately. You can always get the watering tubes that florist use to attach to the ends to give them water after you make the wreath. Mist your wreath often to give it as much water as possible.

I don't see any need to cut down the evergreen tree to make a wreath out of it ? I make wreath all the time. How big of a wreath would you make with a whole tree. You need a round wire of the size of the wreath you are going to make, old wire coat hangers can be shaped to the size that you want the wreath to be. You will need a good pair of cutting pliers, to cut the end off to shape the wire, or you can just leave it on if that is the size that you want and use the hook end to hang the wreath. You then take tree cuttings off of the evergreen where it is not to noticeable, maybe it has an overgrowth on it somewhere where you might want to trim it anyway, take the thicker part of the woody end and wire(you can buy this wire in any craft store or $1 store for that matter) and wire it to the circular wire the next part that you have cut put the woody end under the fur end of the circle and wire it so that you do not see the woody end repeat until your wreath is complete. The decorate you fasten on the decoration with either hot glue gun(found at craft and $1 too) or wire them on which is the easiest way for you.If you do this now it will last way into the new year, they cut down Christmas trees in August for the sale at Christmas time and look at how they last...........Good Luck
Reply:I don't do anything with them. I just cut them just before I want to use them. Some people do spray them with a preservative to help maintain freshness. you could probably find it at a local florist shop. Just make sure you keep the greens in a cool place. they last longer that way. I live in central new york state, so that isn't a problem for me. Oh... I've been making wreaths for 14 years....no one has complained yet...in fact, most people tell me that their wreaths last until late march or early april...and they usually get them in the beginning of december. hope this helps!
Reply:cut the tree about 4 inches from the bottom and soak in a full bucket of water for at least 12 hours giving it lots of water and time to soak it up into the boughs. All the additives such as aspirin and sugar is a bunch of bull it simply needs lots of water make the wreath and then about once every few days mist it with a squirt bottle and plain water it will last a lot longer than by the new year
