Description:

Bacchus is always an excellent god to emulate and William here has got it bang on.

He has draped a crisp sheet ( straight out of it's John Lewis wrapping of couse) around himself then fashioned the wreath from a piece of wire and leaves.

Most importantly he has secured two loyal attendants to feed him grapes.

How to make...

A wreath!
Collect together a fair quantity of flowers or leaves ( you can see both here - a nice red flower wreath and a leafy wonder) and feed them onto a piece of wire that you have measured to fit your head and then left some space for fastening ( make sure the wire is not too thick or it will be hard to bend).
When gathering the flowers make sure to leave a bit of stem as it is easier to thread the wire through the stem than the head of the flower itself.
When you are done use a quantity of bobbie pins to affix the wreath to your head.

OR you could just pull a bit of vine or creeper or ivy down and use that as a ready made version.
