Spring Wreath with Eucalyptus
My mom always amazes me with the decorations she makes out of things she finds in nature. She loves to go on walk and collect the treasures she finds. Pine cones, moss, branches, nuts… you name it. This time the gardener cut a lot of the trees and bushes in my parents garden and so my mom took the cut off branches to make a beautiful spring wreath! She additionally bought some eucalyptus and baby’s breath at the store and decorated the wreath with onion sets, quail eggs and feathers. The wreath turned out stunning and even lasts for quite a while since all the plants can be dried well.
You need:
Single wire wreath
Branches
Eucalyptus branches
Baby’s breath
Onion sets
Quail eggs
Quail feathers
Wire
Hot glue
ribbons
Instructions:
Take the wire wreath and wrap the branches around it. You can take a few branches together and wrap them together. Sometimes you will find it helpful to secure the branches with wire. Once the base wreath is done you can take the eucalyptus branches and stick them into the wreath. Add as many until you like the look of it.
Take the Baby’s breath and cut off small branches from the top. Also stick them into the wreath. Take the hot glue and glue the eggs, feathers and onions on the wreath. Sometimes you can even “hide” them a little bit under the flowers or eucalyptus.
Lastly add the ribbon to the wreath and you are done. You can either lay it down flat on a table or you can hang it on a wall or door.
