What you need: Ivy plugs Metal wreath form Coco-fiber liner Time release fertilizer Potting soil The items needed to make your own ivy wreath can be purchased at most garden centers. You will need a coconut fiber liner, a wire form, and ivy plugs. The first step is to soak the coco-fiber ring in water over night. This will soften it up and make planting the ivy plugs much easier.

Next fill the coco-fiber form up with potting soil. It's a good idea to mix in a tablespoon of slow release fertilizer.

Pack the soil firmly into the bottom of the form and add more soil if necessary.

Now place the coco-fiber backing on the form and secure it with the wire backing. You will also want to attach the hanger at this time.

The coco-fiber forms come with pre-made holes, but it may be necessary to widen them with a pair of shears.

Next, start planting your ivy plugs. Place one anywhere there is a hole in the coco-fiber form. Be sure to really push them into the soil well. If they aren't far enough in the soil, they will dry out and die.

Once you have all of the ivy plugs planted, weave the individual vines through the metal form. Don't worry if it isn't filled out right away. In a few weeks the ivy will fill in any spots that are bare.
