Scotch Broom Wreath Think out of the
classic circle with this refreshingly modern wreath that is pretty
enough to go anywhere in the house: hallways, alongside staircases, even
in windows. Discover the dried pomegranates at your local grocer and
check your florist for the dried berries. Then experiment beyond the
oval shape by trying out a square, half-circle, rectangle, or
star-shaped wreath! |
|
Materials:
 |
scotch broom, about 6 branches or 1 bunch (to make
an 8"- diameter wreath) |
|
|
heavy-duty scissors |
|
|
hot-glue gun (low temperature) & glue sticks |
|
|
green reel (rose) wire, 1 yard |
|
|
9 pomegranates, dried |
|
|
pyracanthus berries, dried |
|
| |
Instructions:
| 1. |
|
Form the branches of the scotch broom
into an oval, allowing the ends to trail out into space. Wire the
branches together on both ends with green reel wire. |
| 2. |
|
Hot-glue dried pomegranates in 3
sections over the wired areas (3 pomegranates in each section). |
| 3. |
|
Tuck in pyrancanthus berries around
pomegranates and glue down, if necessary. |
Note: Scotch broom will dry in about 2 days indoors;
outdoors it will stay fresh longer. As it dries, it becomes darker and
retains the classic look of a broom. In the case that you can't locate
scotch broom, substitute with huckleberry brush branches (no leaves). |
