Christmas Wreaths

There is nothing prettier than a beautiful large Christmas wreath on a door or wall. I made one to sell at my work Employee Craft Fair and it turned out so well if I do say so myself. Below is a picture.


I just love creating Christmas arrangements. Besides the normal poinsettia, I like to use burgundy/red amaryllis. They are so elegant and unexpected in a wreath. Many people comment how much they like them in my wreaths. I've also used lovely purple hydrangeas that are tipped with silver. Absolutely stunning.

I find the large flowers harder to work with though and they are a pain to anchor to the wreath. I usually glue foam between the metal frame if there is one and glue the flowers in that way. If there isn't a real solid frame on the wreath, you just have to get your glue gun out and "glue till you're blue"! ;)

If you have purchased or made a lovely wreath, I'd love to see it so send over a picture!

And have a Happy Thanksgiving!
