This year I decided to make a wreath from twigs and ribbon. As it turned out, I used the remnants to the dead tree killed by the kitty cats, recycling is in my friends! Inspired by a star shaped wreath I saw in the December issue of Martha Stewart (gt my first copy last week, not as awesome as I was expecting actually…) I used an old coat hanger as the base and added twigs, ribbon and little Chrissy star decorations to give it some oomph.

I’m not going to do a step-by-step on this one as it really was trial and error and making it up as I went along… it was pretty tricky to get the twigs to stay together, I used good old sticky tape, and then just the ribbon to tie them together. Then tied some more ribbons and stuck on the little silver and red stars. You can see photos of the process on my Christmas Wreath flickr set.

I did want it to be a bit bulkier but I ran out of patience, and I think this works anyway =)

What do you think??
