Indeed, making a wreath is a craft
and it takes a lot of creativity to create one that will earn the admiration of the visitors, as well as add to the warmth
and coziness of your home.
Usual accessories to your ring of plain greenery or a combination of leaves and decorative twigs or cuttings are
ribbons, balls and bells. But we like our wreaths with a more personal touch. Jazz them up the way you like them.
You are the first one to take delight in your creation. Stroll around and check if your garden or your neighbor’s has
herbs, twigs, weeds, berries, evergreen needles, seedpods, pinecones and dried ivy leaves, foliage and flowers
that you can incorporate in your Christmas wreaths collectibles.
Choice of colorful herbal leaves include variegated
sage, lemon balm, dusty green oregano, green and blue spruce, bright green mint, among many others.
To impress a fussy visitor, make one or two fragrant Christmas wreaths by tying cinnamon sticks or sandalwood at
the base of the ring. This version of wreath is lovely for table settings, too. If you are that occupied this season and
you don’t like the fuss of making wreaths and all that tying and fastening, there are specialty shops that have really
nice Christmas wreaths collectibles in their display. |
