Wreaths: Making a unique Fall Wreath
The fall crop conventionally renders vibrantly colorful and remarkable ornamental pieces. So why not celebrate the bounty of the fall harvest making a nice, customary harvest wreath?
Here’s our list of requirements,
• Magnolia or lemon leaves
• Any fruit, preferably apple, or any else you like.
• Pine cones
• Yarrow
• Foam wreath base
• Floral pins
• Green spray paint
• Lotus pods
• Wooden meat skewers
• Hot glue gun
• Green paddle wire
How do you make it…
• First, spray paint the wreath frame into green.
• Pin the lemon or magnolia leaves on to the wreath base (preferably lemon leaves as they dry faster and last for long, long time). Pin the leaves placing them in an angle, which will look good and hold more securely.
• Take two meat skewers and trim them at an angle to create points where you insert it into the wreath and thereon into an apple. The apple will remain stuck well if two skewers are pricked on to an angle.
• Now affix the fruit onto the wreath by putting the trimmed ends into the wreath base. Now start adding on fruit clusters in the same way attaching other fruits like limes and lemons.
• Next in a same way attach the yarrow and the pine cones.
• Now wind the green paddle wire around the pine cone and twist around creating a stem to be inserted with the closer.
• Trim the pods and slot in into the wreath.
• Finally, fix some more pin cones, smaller ones with hot glue. A few okra pods and surrounding dried flowers will also go well.
• In case the fruits don’t give lustre you may sprinkle some cooking oil for a nice shine. To keep the wreath fresh you can change the fruits on a regular basis.
