Hubby and I went for a walk today, to the fields and lanes near our home. We came home laden with lovely seasonal branches from the hedgerows, so I decided to make a Christmas wreath for our front door...
 |
| I made the wreath base in exactly the same way as last year, using fallen branches from the silver birch tree in our garden. |
 |
| I then just pushed in short lengths of the foliage and berry laden branches till it was full. |
 |
| Its ended up quite large this year - The width of our front door! |
 |
| (Tufts of sheep's wool found on our walk, which I left decorating the hazel branches.) |
 |
| Lovely gingham ribbon bow was wired in place. |
