Hi! Back as promised with the ‘how-to’ on this sweet little lavender wreath.
I wanted to make the full size version but couldn’t bare to use up all my lavender in one shot.
So I made her mini size.. but this is so easy to adjust the size. Especially with my homemade wreath form. Alright! here are the instructions–
Gather up your supplies. You will need an old wire hanger (or pre-bought wreath form), florist wire, bundles of dried or fresh lavender, wire snips.
I always make my own wreath form.. easy peasy. Just cut off a chunk of the hanger and form it into a circle. I always wire damp newspaper to the form to give it more body.
Take a chunk of your lavender.. cut it to approximetely six inches long (for a bigger wreath cut it a little longer) and wire it to the form.
Continure around the circle..
WAH-LAH!
I used both dried and fresh (ran out half way through) IMO Both were easy to work with and they’ll all dry to the same color in a couple days anyways…
I never claimed to be an expert, did I?? haha
Are you going to try this? Let me know how it goes!
