My Last Minute Wreath

When we were up in the mountains this fall,  just the day before the first snow, I collected a bagful of pinecones, moss and a few sticks.  I had big plans for an autumn wreath.  I finally got around to it today, and although it’s long past autumn, I am so happy with the way it turned out.

 

 

I used a wire frame as the base and wound  florist wire around the larger, curved cones to have something to glue the others to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just kept gluing and layering until I was happy with the balance.  I tucked in the moss and lichen and added a couple of the sticks. 

I had some fake snow and sprinkled it,  adhering it with a spray adhesive.  Just a dusting and I was transported back to the mountains.  What a wonderful memory this wreath brings back to me.
