Make your own Wreaths!

I had never thought of making my own wreaths, until a few days ago, when Kim and I were strolling happily around the neighborhood, and I happened to lay my eyes on fabulous twigs of virginia creeper that grows abundantly along the boundary of an abandoned allotment... now free from the vibrant red foliage and visible in all of their potential ;)

Needless to say I harvested a good deal...

... and when at home, I started to twist and wrap them around each other to create a round shape. You can even use silver birch twigs, or anything flexible.

To secure, wedge the loose end among the twisted twigs. No glue or wire are necessary.

Really easy peasy and super quick! In matter of seconds I had my wreath... (See the chest of drawers? It's one of my WIPs! A garbage find, to be exact (wink wink)! It was in very poor conditions but now it's fixed. Look at those knobs. My, it's going to be splendid after the beauty treatment I have in mind! Will show the before and after when done).

You can decorate your wreath as you like- isn't this a cute, last- minute, inexpensive thought for a neighbor or a special touch to top your gifts with?
