10th Craft of Craftmas - 15min Christmas Wreath









Its been such a beautiful day here (compared to the awful storms yesterday) that I couldn't resist being outside for a little bit. As such Mum and I decided to make another wreath (why not its Christmas!). This one I have labelled our 15min wreath as it really was so quick to do.

Using the thin branches that are left once all the leaves fall off silver birch trees and tied them in a tight loop with several bits of string. Then we took the following:

Holly
Ivy
Lavender
Rosemary
Dried oranges and apples
Cinnamon sticks


Then the really easy bit, you simply poke the ends of all the greenery into the silver birch twigs, no need for tying together as the birch will help everything stay in place. The only bit of garden wire I used was to attach the dried apple and orange by inserting a bit of wire through each segment. To finish off I tied a bow to the top using some festive ribbon and attached it to the front door!
