The amount needed will depend on the size of the wreath you're covering; test wrap with the first strip to gauge how long the fabric should be. If the wreath is very large, several strips may be needed but one strip should suffice for a small wreath.

# Wrap the thin ribbon around the wreath. Leave gaps of about 5cm/2 inches between each following wrap; there should be plenty of the underlying organza and lamé fabrics showing through, as the ribbon is simply a decorative addition. As you wrap, glue the ribbon in place.
