Each year, some of us ladies from my church gather greens and make our own Christmas wreaths. One of the guys from our church has a huge lot he owns next door to his home and it has many pine and cedar trees. He lets us trim trees for our project. We haul the greens back to church and then get busy wiring the cut pieces to a round wire frame. Sometimes we just add a bow and sometimes we put on ornaments or pine cones or holly, etc.
This time, I got a friend to make the bow for the one I gave away
but I couldn't get my snowflake ribbon to work and gave up on using it this time. I finally made a simple red velvet bow and added small ornaments. It looks okay and I am glad to have something for my apartment door since it is inside the building.

I think that is a wonderful thing that you ladies are doing. I bet those wreaths smell good, too. I like the one you put up on our door. What a welcome it sends out to everyone who comes by!

Both are beautyful, but the second is more colorful and I prefer it.I love this time of the year!
Very festive! I like the Christmas ornaments on the second wreath.
Sounds like a great project for the ladies and one that I'm sure you enjoy. The Wreaths look beautiful.
I admire your skill! I am not able to do these things even though I have tried, so I especially appreciate your achievements. These are great.
These are very nice Paulie, i have never tried to make wreaths, i hear they are kind of hard on the hands.
OH, these are beautiful!!
