Making a Festive Wreath

MAKING A FESTIVE WREATH

I popped over to a friend’s place and she gave me the wonderful task of assembling the ‘do-it-yourself’ festive wreath.

The Aquarelle wreath-making kit contains 100% natural products – European fir, cones, cinnamon sticks, twigs, and eucalyptus leaves.

I began by laying newspaper on the table. Then …

The 4 easy steps are :

Take out the items from the package and arrange them on a table.
Start with the stems – choose to cut them into smaller pieces or keep them whole for an even wilder effect.
For the thinnest stems (eucalyptus, gypsophila), slip them at an angle into the natural fir crown (wreath). For the larger ones (cotton flowers), hang them with staples.
It’s time for other accessories: slide the ones with a wooden support at an angle directly into the fir crown. Use adhesive pads for others.

100% fun and the result is wow !
