The base of the wreath is traditionally a ring-shaped framework - prefabricated rings made of steel, Styrofoam or straw are available in craft stores.

Make an Advent wreath in a different way
Anything the garden offers is suitable for decorating (and it's cheap too): dry cones, acorns, chestnuts, berries and rose hips are attached to the wreath with hot glue.
