For a long time, I have wanted to have a go at making my own christmas wreath but always lacked the courage. The most challenging thing about this wreath was actually getting the wreath shape in the first place - particularly as I had this absolutely absurd idea of using green tinsel!
I have used a plastic coated wire for the base circle. Possibly should have used something heavier but it seems to be holding shape at the moment and I have hung it up for a few days to check! I have tied little white bows around the tinsel in various places then added some holly and gold poinsettia. The silver stars that you can see were already on the tinsel - which is why I wanted to use that particular tinsel!
I am entering this wreath into the following challenges:

Thanks for stopping by and leaving your lovely comment ... And what a lovely wreath. I've seen a wonderful one from Dandelion Designs using linen rags and might just have to create my own version of it ... just have to find a wire coathanger (I don't have any lol!)
