A Valentine’s wreath

My garden shed has somewhat been taken over by flowers that I cut for drying last summer. I had two trays of nigella pods, which I couldn’t bear to get rid of, so I decided to make another wreath.

Winter wreaths 2021

I spent a couple of days last week making winter wreaths. It was mild enough for me to work outside, which meant I didn’t need to worry about being a bit messy!

Autumn wreath 2021

It won’t be long until I start making my winter wreaths, but in the meantime, I spent a couple of lovely afternoons recently making another autumn wreath. 

Another day, another wreath

I made one of these nigella wreaths last year and loved it. I keep it in my craft room because I don’t want it to get damaged by the elements and it’s still looking pretty good one year on.

Oh look, another wreath

I find wreath making one of the most absorbing of crafts. I get completely lost in it, forget all my worries, and, for a few hours, it allows me to block out everything that’s going on.

My first wreath of the year is also my first upcycling project of the year.

An Autumn Wreath

Ever since I created my winter wreath last year, I’ve been on the lookout for things that I might be able to use in future projects.

Summer wreaths

I can’t stop making wreaths.

Having created my first Christmas wreath, mostly from bits that were about to go in my green bin, I am now obsessed with keeping any garden waste that might be suitable to use. The garden shed is full of poppy heads, Chinese lanterns, and pinecones that I’ve picked up while I’ve been out and about.
