This afternoon was a day @ the Brain Injury Group where we all made wreaths from pine-cones. I wasn't sure how something like this was going to turn out but I am pleasantly surprised @ how lovely it turned out. I am told this will keep for a very long time. Our Instructor has had hers for over 20 years & it still looks quite nice. I must get a hook that goes over the door in order to hang mine but I just wanted to share how it turned out. I added a string of lights to mine & I made the burlap bow to add to the rustic look of the pine cones. I have dried out roses that I have inserted into the holly leaves & some babies breath too & fresh cedar sprigs so it smells like Christmas lol

Beautiful, I love the bow and I bet it smells wonderful, Suzanna

Lovely...just lovely!

Looks Amazing, your group makes some very nice projects. I bet your was the best..

Well Done , it is stunning, I love it .
Hugs pam

It will be around for many Christmases. You did a great job. It is a beautiful wreath.

Store it in a secure plastic box. My Mother and her friend made one each for themselves plus one for the lady's son. Mother stored hers in the attic and the squirrels got in and gnawed it to pieces. Her friend helped her remake hers the next year (in the 1960's) and she left it year round over her desk - still there last time I was in the house - 49 years. They used a drill and wire and shellac, pine cones, small cones from a deodora, sweet gum balls, pecans and almonds (Guess the nuts are what the squirrels wanted.)

Came home from work one day opened the screen door & inserted my key walked into my house then I thought what the heck did I just see so I went out side again & there attached to the Indian Corn was a squirrel eating away without a care int eh world lol. Mind you nice to know it is that old so will last the rest of my life lol. Thanks for the memorie lane trip, ~hugs~
