    3. Tinker topping wreath

    For home builders, the topping-out ceremony is a long-awaited milestone during the construction phase. …

  3. Then hold a threaded egg on top of the wreath and use the wire to pull a noose around the wreath. How to attach one egg at a time. How many eggs you distribute on the wreath and whether you add additional decorations (flowers, small twigs, feathers, etc.) is of course up to your taste.
