Show yule wreaths easy tomake to make this year the home wreath maker can use a bit of ingenuity and concoct perhaps handsomer wreaths wreath than ever wire is scarce so unless last years wire frame was saved a sub will be needed some people twist two or more small tough switches from hazel maple or dogwood they use this bound with moss as a base for the holly or evergreen wreath A wire coat hanger bent to circular shape is good for a wreath and has the merit of being universally ver sally obtainable the evergreens ever greens or holly to be used for making the wreath should be cut into short lengths longer for a large wreath shorter tor for one of small diameter but about six inches the general length the short sections are gathered into little bunches and wired onto the wire foundation strong green cord can be used to fasten them on too wrapping it over and over around the frame fiame small wire is better if obtainable another way of making a wreath Is to wire each small bunch of the greens onto a toothpick then stick these into the moss covered framework but for this method there must be a framework an inch or two broad instead of a single wire circle holly spruce douglas fir cedar and many of the ornamental nursery varieties of evergreens ever greens may be used to make the wreath |
