California pomegranates add colorful adornment to a merry holiday wreath. Simply secure pomegranates and other ornaments to the wreath. A glue gun and some floral wire are the only tools needed.

For an appealing jewel-like appearance, break some pomegranates in half and use whole pomegranates of different sizes. The open fruit will dry and stay attractive for several weeks. You can even gild whole fruit with gold or silver spray paint. Finish with a striking bow - wire-edged ribbon works especially well.
