Wreath DIY

I got round to making our Christmas wreath after deliberating what I wanted to put in it.  I really wanted it to be natural looking and came across these lovely thistles in Leeds market.  I started with a wire shaped ring (the double type) and began to weave stems in and worked round the ring as I went. 

 

I am really pleased with the end result, as well as the thistle I used Rosemary (which smells wonderful!) and eucalyptus.  I used our lovely red and white twisted yarn to create a loop.

Davy whipped up another pencil pot the other day, I really like the formation of the pencils in it!

Festive Wreath Ideas

I am planning on making a wreath for the first time this week, I've seen some great ideas that are really nice and thought I would share some with you guys.  I really love the idea of using herbs to make it smell lovely.  Has anyone had success with this? I wonder how long the sage version will stay green for?
