I'm planning my winter wreaths and we speak. I collect different flowers, dry them and use them on evergreen Christmas wreaths. I like the effect. Not too loud, rather rustic.
These are some of the flowers/buds I use....
dried hydrangea - I pinch off small clusters and tip with silver glitter glue
coneflower centers (I sparingly tip them with gold and attach sticking straight up in a centerpiece or on a wreath - gives a 3 dimentional effect)
black-eyed susan centers - smaller than coneflower centers, I tend to use them when I want a spikey effect on a wreath. They also look great tipped with gold/silver
Money plant silver dollars - I peel them, remove the seeds to plant and attach the silvery clusters around the wreath. Quite etheral.
Dried rose buds - love 'em
Varigated holly - I clip pieces and attach. It doesn't last forever - but neither does the evergreen wreath!
Then I tip the wreath with gold/silver glitter glue. Not alot. Not dipped. Just enough to make the wreath and the buds shimmer.....
Anyone else do something like this or am I the only looney?
