Wreaths I made for my dear ones

Randi you are so talented, they are indeed very special and beautiful,thank you for sharing them with us,what a lovely idea and I am sure they are looking down and smiling at you, so sorry this is such a sad time for you, HUGS.:love:

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhh !!! These wreaths are gorgeous, Randi!! I wish I could make one for my mom's grave! Can you please give us more details about all the stuff you used?

Thanks again! :) It's really not that difficult to make these... get one of these thingies, or if you live in the countryside, go to a cornfield and collect the stuff and make one. :p For this, thin plastic wire is often used.

Then go and buy some nice spruce - you can also cut the lower branches from your Christmas tree and use that. ;) I used Nobilis spruce this time. In any case, use some good quality spruce.

You need some thin metal wire (preferably green) to wrap around, and this is the tricky part - keep your kitties away, I assure you, they won't be any help! :rolleyes: Try to make it a round circle - and that's it!

Now, you just need to find some bits and pieces to put on. I got two stems of silk flowers and cut each flower off. Make sure they're long enough to stick into the spruce.

Have a go, you can do it! :)

Sara, I'm so envious of you... where you live there grows these violet flowers that can be dried, you had lots of them around your area. Many years ago, I made these round thingies with various dried flowers. That was a bit more difficult, but they kept for years.

Edit* Oh, forgot these links which shows what I used.

These are a beautiful and thoughtful way to remember your loved ones. L.L.Bean sells similar wreaths and they are expensive and not made with love :love: as yours are. :)

Randi you are too modest - your wreaths are beautiful and so festive.

I love wreaths because they can be used year round in different ways with different materials - and Pam is right - they are very expensive to buy. I wish I had your talent.

Randi, those are absolutely beautiful! They are so well made, and very much nicer than ones you would generally see for sale. I am seriously impressed.

Such gorgeous wreaths, Randi. :love:

These are beautiful.:) I've only used the fake wreaths and then I'd buy little decorations to put on them from Michaels. Yours are so much better.:)

Randi - you have the talent to start your own business!!! I think people would snap up your beautiful designs!

:eek: WoW Great Job those are so Pretty..

Absolutely beautiful Randi. I wish I was there to help you place them. :(:love:
