- Using different round tips and colored icing, hold the bag with the back end pointing toward you and the tip just slightly above the surface.
- Squeeze the bag to form a dot. As the icing begins to build up, raise the tip with it while keeping the tip point slightly buried in the icing.
- Stop squeezing and pull the tip up slightly, but not away from the icing. With a circular motion, use the end of the tip to scrape the point on top of the dot.
- Pipe dots to create the round shape of a wreath. Use light pressure to form a small dot; add more pressure to make a bigger dot.
- Using smaller tips, fill in gaps inside and outside the wreath to create a full look.

To plan the shape of the wreath, use a Food Writer or dots of icing to create an outline.
For ornaments, pipe dots using different colors of icing, or add nonpareils or Sugar Pearls Sprinkles.
Add a bow by piping two loops facing each other. Pipe two lines to create the tails of the bow. Pipe a dot on the center of the bow.
If your dots have points, dip your finger in cornstarch and lightly press the points to flatten them.
