Wreath "How To" from Country Living

In searching Country Living for fall ideas I found this wreath tutorial and thought I would share. I would love to make one.

WREATH HOW-TOs

Materials: Start with a grapevine wreath as your foundation; purchase at crafts stores. Any dimension will work; the wreath pictured is 18”. Adorn with greenery that you like. Michelle recommends hydrangea blossoms and rugosa rose hips (above) for a pretty combination. For best results, keep materials in proportion to the size of the wreath.



Assembly: Apply cuttings while fresh, making them easier to work with. Use florist's wire (or a hot-glue gun, if stems are very "woody") to affix cuttings, tucking in stems as you go, until wreath is covered on its front and sides.



Finishing: Using florist's wire, attach a loop to the back top of wreath, for hanging. Display away from direct sunlight. Store flat in a box in a cool, dry place, until next year.
