How do I make a square laurel wreath?
As in the Pottery Barn catalog. I just get you the bay leaves and a hot glue gun?
Material: Fresh bay leaves wreath frame (can when filling out a coat hanger, if you can not find) Paddle wire (floral section of craft store) Instructions: Put a lot of small mini "bouquets" of bay leaves with dense packaging of all cluster together with wire around the base. Now lay your first cluster on the wire rack. Attach the wire to the frame and paddle around the bottom of the first cluster. Wrap the base firmly. Place your nearest cluster based on the wire, something for the cluster wired to the section of the last. Turn the wire at the base of the second cluster. Continue adding the clusters around the wire frame in the same way (be sure each one covers the wires of the previous cluster and each cluster is facing the same direction. When you get up again, wrap the wire several times around the frame and form a hanging loop. End and make sure not the end of the wire sticking out everywhere, where it could scratch the door or wall. Hope my instructions were clear. Good Luck. You get the rotation out.
