There are a few basic supplies you'll need...
metal wreath form
twine
garden hose
The metal wreath form is a must. I've made a few wreaths without the form and with the weight of the hose, gravity eventually takes its toll and you have a lovely egg shaped wreath. It might look cute for Easter, but not all summer.
I snatched this garden hose before hubby sent it to the trash heap. It needed a good scrub with Bon Ami before it was wreath worthy.
Start attaching the hose with twine every so often, and keep filling in the wreath form until it's the look you want. I cut my hose somewhere in the middle and started winding from the cut end because I wanted the nozzle end of the hose to show on the front of my wreath.
Here's your blank canvas to start the fun part of adding florals and accessories to your wreath. Hubby's legs are photo bombing this shot as he works in our garden.
I was so anxious to start the fun part, adding color and texture to my wreath that I forgot to take a pic of my pile of florals and garden pieces I found around the house. Raid your garage or garden shed to add interesting pieces to your wreath.
I hung my wreath in our garage, it's the entrance we use the most. Only friends and guests use the formal front door. I wanted to make our family entrance look cute too!
