Everlasting Christmas Wreath. This was the idea that Martine digitised the holly leaf for which also became a doily. (Thanks again Martine.)There are 18 holly leaves mounted on a padded ring covered in felt. The berries are wooden beads.

Sue, let me be the first to tell you I love it! Should have a go at it myself! Did you manage to get thinner metal thread - I think florist's thread would be just right.

No - I found the leaves were springy enough without!

No, not yet, this was just a special request by Sue. Afterwards I used the shape of the leaf for the doily.

I took a load of pictures alomg the way and was thinking of making a tutorial - particularly about making the padded ring base. If anyone would like a copy, please PM me your email address.

I love this Sue but unfortunately if I hung that outside here in SA, it would get stolen. Sarah.

It isn't really big enough for a door - it will hang on my brick fireplace!
