Sunburst poppy wreath

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

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.

A Wreath of Remembrance

I’ve wanted to make a poppy remembrance wreath for quite some time and with the 100 year anniversary of the armistice soon approaching, I thought it was high time I got started.
