Lavender . . . and how to make a wreath

Enjoying the last 

cuttings of lavender . . .

 Love the smell of

fresh cut lavender.
 

I have been wanting to make a lavender wreath,

and why not do a tutorial? 

Once you know how to make a wreath,

you can make a wreath for any season,

with flowers, evergreens, etc.

What you need:

~ flowers, evergreen branches, etc.

~ green 24 gauge wire

~ a metal wreath frame (I used the flat style for this one)

How to make a wreath:

1) Secure the wire to the wreath frame
 

2) Add a small clump of lavender {or whatever you're using to make your wreath} Keep stems less than 6" long

3) Lay it on the frame and wrap the wire twice around the stems close to the flowering part and pull tight
 

4) Add your next clump on top of the first clump, covering the stems and wrap around twice with wire and pull tight.
 

5) Continue this process around the wreath until you reach the beginning.
 

6) To finish the wreath, tuck your last stems under the flowers of the first clump and wrap stems twice with the wire and pull tight
7) Secure the wire to the back of the wreath frame, cut your wire, and tuck the end inside
 

VOILA!

Enjoy!
