Flower wreaths
Posted in Crafts by Carol on November 2nd, 2007
Use any type of flowers for this wreath. Live or artificial will do. You will need to use a wire coat hanger, which has been shaped into a circle, and then untwisted. You will also need to get a bunch of live leaves, or you can use medium or large size artificial flowers that have had the petals taken apart. String the leaves or flowers onto the wire with a hole punched near the middle, if needed. Push them fairly close together.
Twist the wire back together again. Form the hanger top into a circle and bend downward to make a hanger for the wreath. You may want to add a colorful matching bow with nuts or small flowers glued among the ringlets of the bow itself. If the wreath is made of live material, it will keep for about a week. Place artificial wreaths in a covered box for storage when it is taken down for the season. This will keep it from fading, and the wreath can be used again next year.
