The Rural Voice, 1992-12, Page 41often takes these apart and uses the
individual elements to decorate the
wreath.
Deanna Snell, who with her sister
and partner Wilma Scott runs
Christmas and Country in Blyth, uses
a wet foam wreath form to create her
fresh wreath. The form allows the
wreath to stay fresh longer. If using
an artificial wreath, she says, take
care to arrange all the branches to
look realistic and full. A six inch, No.
22 florist wire can be attached to the
top of the wire base to form a hanger.
The bow can set a wreath off as a
glorious creation. Deanna suggests
you leave about 16 inches of ribbon
for tail, then start by twisting the
ribbon away from yourself and
forming a loop upwards
Wreaths can bring
o natural or
sophisticated
touch to your
home
(approximately five inches long).
Bring this loop down and pinch it in.
Holding it with the left thumb and
index finger, twist it toward yourself
and bring it down, forming another
loop the same size as the first loop.
Bring it up and pinch it in again,
holding it again with the left thumb
and index finger. Twist it again away
from yourself and form a loop
upwards. Continue in this manner
until you have the desired size of
bow, approximately eight loops
altogether. Bring down enough
ribbon to form the other tail of 16
inches long and cut off. Insert a 12
inch florist wire between the fingers
of the left hand while still holding the
bow and twist the wire around the
bow to secure it. Attach the bow to
the wreath.
Glue or wire Christmas picks,
flowers, or pine cones either natural
or sprayed to match your bow. A
pretty beaded garland can be wrapped
around the wreath for an extra
touch.0
Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season.
