Fir Wreath

We had a beautiful Fraser Fir tree for the 2010 Holiday Season, as I discussed in my other blog. I used the boughs cut from the bottom of the tree, a wire wreath form, some floral wire, and hemp cord to fashion a beautiful, gigantic wreath that we displayed on our door through February. The cuttings stayed fresh and green with no maintenance from me, though I’m sure they appreciated the cool outdoor air. I did keep the cuttings in vases and glass jars full of fresh water until I was ready to use them on the wreath. The wreath outside extended the heavenly smell of our holiday tree inside.
