OVAL WREATH

YOU WILL NEED:

Metal wire in oval shape ●

Winding wire

Salim twigs

Zinc bell

Natural jute twine

16 pine sprigs

8 elongated pine cones

7 branches with ornamental apples – we used Malus x robusta ‘Red Sentinel’ and ‘Pom’zai’

7 branches with small rose hips 5 dried hydrangea flowers

7 stems of dried lunaria (honesty) or Lunaria rediviva stems

7 branches of ivy with berries

●

METHOD:

1. Tie the salim twigs around the oval wire, not too thick.

2. Create a small bunch of the pine sprigs, pine cones, malus, hydrangea flower, lunaria and ivy and secure them together with winding wire.

3. Attach the bunch to the top left of the oval wreath and secure it in place with wire.

4. Leave a small space on the wreath and then repeat with another bunch of the wreath decorations – you can vary the contents of each bunch slightly – and repeat until the left side of the wreath is filled and covered.

5. Repeat the same process on the right side of the wreath.

6. At the bottom, attach a larger bunch of the natural decorations, with the branches angled out to both sides.

7. Attach the bell in the top centre of the wreath with natural jute twine.
