Festive Ivy Wreath
My creative mojo appears to have returned having alluded me for the last month or so. After a short walk with Ursa during which I collected some Ivy and a thin bendy Hazel twig, I made a festive wreath for the front door. I took the twig and tied it using light weight green garden wire into a circle, you may need to bend it for a bit to shape it into a perfect round. Then I systematically tied stems of Ivy with their lovely green berries at the top and bottom of the stems, all in the same direction again with the green garden wire. Finally I took a length of gold tinsel and wound this around the Ivy stems and the Hazel circle covering up all the exposed stems neatly, and tied it onto the front door with a piece of thin ribbon. The cost was absolutely nothing, everything was available in the hedgerow, my house and the shed – lovely!
