You’ll need
Some willow • Fresh or dried herbs • Bay leaves (you can forage away for these) • Dried fruit (orange slices work well), chillis, Brussels sprouts, star anise, cinnamon sticks and other foodie bits to decorate
Take a willow strand and bend it into a circle, tucking the end in.

Wrap and weave another strand around the first one.

Keep going till you have a fairly sturdy ring.
Step 2
Tie some bunches of herbs and foliage into bundles with your box string.
Tie the bundles to your willow ring.
Step 3
Tie your decorations on with box string or thread. A mix of colours, shapes
and sizes works best.
