The video showed moss being fastened to the copper ring using the wire before groups of foliage and berries were carefully positioned on top and finished with oranges and a big red bow.

Fans took to the comments section to ask: "How did you make those little oranges??" and: "How did you dry the small oranges/tangerines?"

Another enquired: "Where do you get the moss? You make it look so easy." Luckily, many other followers answered their queries, telling them that a lot of the decorations could be bought at a garden centre.

No doubt Her Majesty has several gorgeous wreaths decorating the doors of her royal residences up and down the country.
