How to draw a holly wreath

This pretty holly wreath is very simple to draw
I set up my phone and filmed how I did it so that you can follow along.

Use a jam jar lid as a template for a Christmas card sized wreath or a small bowl for a gift bag. You could even make place cards and place mats for a gorgeous table setting.
