Wreath Creating

Making a wreath from the plants and greens around your home.

I collected: pine cones, dried lemons, pine branches, grape vines, old wire leftovers, eucalyptus, and olive branches. I will add rosemary and herbs to freshen it up each week of advent. 

All of the greens were free.

You need: good clippers, variety of found wire, and gloves

I thought I would glue or modge podge but did not this year.

I soaked the pine cones in bleach and water, not necessary I wanted them to

look frosty- a cup household bleach to gallon of water and soak for 24 hours,

then let them dry in the sun.

I had lemons from a tree that my neighbor forgot to water. I sliced the dried fruits and put on a cookie sheet in the sunshine for two days.

Two types of wire- one coated one to hold the grape vines to dry in a circle shape, and a finer one to attach to the loop.
