**How to care for your evergreen wreath and kissing ball**

*Do not place your wreath in direct sunlight and especially do not put it between a glass storm door and your front door.  This environment acts like an oven, and will bake your wreath to a crispy brown color!!

*If you live in a area that does not have cold temperatures, it is recommended that you Mist your evergreen wreath every couple of days.  I would suggest buying an empty spray bottle and keep it handy near your evergreen product.

*Do not place your evergreen product inside near a heater, this also will bake your item!

*If you purchase a kissing ball, please be aware that the evergreen pieces that make up the kissing ball are stuck into a piece of "floral foam".  Floral foam is the green water absorbing material that fresh flower arrangements are made with.  This makes it easy to water, just as you would water a flower arrangement.   Kissing balls can be placed indoors or outdoors.  If you are lucky enough to live in an area that has freezing temperatures, you can hang it outside and do absolutely nothing to it.  With the water that is in the floral foam, and the freezing temperatures, the foam actually "locks" the evergreen pieces in place and will last long into the winter and even early spring months! 

If you follow these simple care instructions, your evergreen products will last well past Christmas--even into the winter months!
