December finds me making winter door garlands and table decorations.
A framework of red dogwood, with silver birch stems woven through, created an open weave basket, which was then filled with foliage offcuts from my garden. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole design process, and will definitely make one for myself.
Last year Twigs, foliage and wire showed the practicalities of how to make a door wreath – why not check it out ?
I hope the following images inspire you to have a go at making one, for yourself. Believe me, they are not difficult to make, you just need an hour or two, a selection of foliage , flexible florists wire, and stems. I particularly like using contorted hazel and willow in my design, as they are really flexible, and help to create a 3 dimensional effect.
With 2021 coming to its end, I wish you all a great Christmas, and many thanks for reading my blog this year.
2022 will find me blogging about my new allotment and cut flower beds.
