Step 1: Find a piece of cardboard.

Step 2: Cut a circle out of the cardboard.
Make it as large as you want the wreath to be.
At a minimum, the circle must be bigger than the popcorn, including the space for the center hole.
You can use any other shape you'd like, such as a heart, oval, square, star, and so forth. , If using another shape, cut the middle in that same shape.
