Wreath

I decided I wanted some kind of bead or berry wreath for the wreath stand in my dining room. I looked when I was in Erie and they were 30 to 40 dollars! No way I'm paying that much. Most of them had a grapevine base so I decided to try to make one. I got all I needed for less than $15.
I pulled apart the icy branches and hot glued them to the wreath. Then I just stuck the berry sprays into the wreath and bent the stems around the wreath. I used 10 sprays,
I didn't even cut or glue the sprays so if I decide I want to do something else with them I can.
I like the glass look beads with the berries.

I'm very happy with the way it turned out and with the price!

That looks great, Jean.

It's amazing how much money we can save by making our own decorations.
