Framed

Now I have a purpose for those oddball picture frames that I can't bear to toss! They make perfect "bones" for a fun wreath. Experiment with different shapes like squares, rectangles, circles, and ovals. Here are the steps:
  • Separate your greenery into small bunches
  • Secure florist wire to the frame by tying a knot
  • Lay a bunch onto the frame and wrap the stem 2-3 times with the wire
  • Repeat with slightly overlapping layers
  • Wrap a few extra times on the last bunch and tie off and you're done!





*I used boxwood, but you can also use winter berries, fir, pine, spruce, or cedar.
