Making A Wreath

[smurfchops]

I have a large willow heart shaped ornament and want to cover it and make a Christmas wreath. Any ideas what to use to make it look pretty? Tia. I have lots of holly, ivy, conifer leaves in the garden I just need ideas.

google is your friend. I don't mean this nastily or dismissively but if you google something like how to make a christmas wreath and click on images, you will find enough ideas to fill your house, your neighbours house and the whole street.

This seems to have got it covered perfectly:

Many thanks!

Thanks for your reply.

If you find yourself needing a more detailed version of those instructions (from the same guy), see here:

There are so many lovely things you can use, Smurf. Even Dave made a fantastic one a couple of years ago.
I think I see a little bird peeping out of the link from Chris. A tiny little Robin is always lovely tucked away amongst the greenery....have fun!

I'd pick a two tone colour scheme and go with that. You can get some v realistic fake flowers off eBay, a pack of baubles and some ribbon. Plus a little wire. Also you can battery operated led lights that you can interweave for a few pence.

if you are going with battery lights, pay the extra and get a set with a timer.

I had battery lights on the one on my front door. It led through the letter box and I turned it off as I went to bed. Probably annoyed the postie though!
