Decorate with Handmade Wreaths

Enjoy crafted wreaths made from natural elements and crafts store finds.

Wreath made of bittersweet vines and Chinese lanterns
 

Autumn Wreath

Strip leaves from bittersweet vines and Chinese lantern stems. Bend and twist the vines into a circle. Wrap vines circle around a wire wreath form, then tuck in Chinese lanterns. Secure stems or loose pods with dots of hot glue. To preserve its color, hang the wreath away from bright light and heat.

bittersweet is an extremely invasive weed and should NEVER be used for a wreath or anything else. in fact it should be destroyed when possible
