Country herb wreaths are beautiful, and are easy and inexpensive to
make. You can use many of the materials we have already listed for the
other projects. You can also mix in other plant leaves such as dusty
miller or salvia. The herbs you can use are endless.
You will need:
wire coat hanger
green floral tape
spool floral wire
Herbs such as:
sage
thyme
mints
basil
rosemary
oregano
feverfew flowers
Bend hanger into a heart or circle shape; wrap with green tape, starting
at the base of the hook. Gather Herb stems into small bunches. Attach
each bundle to frame with your spool wire, overlapping the next bunch, so the stems are hidden. Work down each side of the frame. Be sure to mix colors and textures. When you are finished, exam for any skimpy spots. As the herbs dry they will become a bit smaller, so you want the wreath very full. You may also add extras if you wish, such as small roses, which will dry nicely, the silver dusty miller or a raffia bow.
