DIY Boxwood Wreath

I love spontaneous projects. 

I've been wanting to hang some simple boxwood wreaths 

in the windows in the dining room, but the price tag was a bit steep for me. 

Today as I drove up the driveway, I suddenly saw that I have a wealth of boxwood 

all around my yard just waiting to be harvested.  I unbuckled baby boy, 

postponed big brother's math lesson, and went to work.

First I clipped a bunch of boxwood and washed it.

Then I shaped a metal hanger into a circle.

Next, I gathered the twigs into little bundles and tied them with fishing line.

In order to get a sense of how much I needed, I arranged the bundles around the wire circle.

Then I attached the bundles to the hanger with floral tape.

Add a bit of ribbon, and ta da!

I love creating new things from stuff I already have!
