I saw this idea on YouTube. Turns out it was very simple. I have made 5 or 6 this christmas for family members.

Honestly kitty next year if you have the inclination - give it a go - you can’t go wrong!

Want to bet, WWM2?

Sorry WWM2, That might have come over more aggressively than I intended. Should have had a grin after it.

No😄😄 I “know” you well enough that I realised it was absolutely nothing to do with aggression😄

This is mine, a fresh one with just a bit of prettying up.
I hung it on the door yesterday while dh was out. As always, when he returned, he made no comment. He just doesn’t notice things.

So when maybe 15 minutes later he said, ‘Oh, the wreath is nice,’ it was startling to say the least!

There is an idea for a knitting wreath out there somewhere.
It consists of various coloured balls of wool and brightly coloured Christmas baubles on a foam circle. I had it for years but never used it. My Mum made several of the ones made from fabric scraps and they were very effective.

I’ve made knitted ones, from a very easy circular pattern I found on the Lovecrafts site. One was decorated with snowmen, another with robins.
However they’re not suitable for front doors unless weatherproof - they get soggy and saggy in the rain!

Well, it took a bit longer than anticipated (about 2 days I reckon!) - but here, as promised, is my Lego wreath!

I hope I've done this right! This is the link for the wreath making instructions.

Thank you for the link. I think yours is lovely and I’m going to take inspiration from it.

I save metal rings. Wire on masses of garden foliage, new bows.

Love the Lego wreath.

I was in a posh gift shop today. I saw a wreath on the wall. Half the wreath was covered in dried flowers and greenery, the other half was bare.

I looked at the price tag and thought it said £10. Looked more carefully - £110! 😱

I watched on a facebook reel a wreath being made using a large potato as the centrepiece. Holes were made in it and greenery stuck in. The potato had a wire loop inserted at the top before the greenery was stuck in.

It looked lovely...better than how I have described it. I will try and find the site again.

Oh Primrose, thank goodness that you noticed before you handed it over at the till!
