A Gardener's Wreath


My project today is turning some old objects into a re'find' item for the garden.
A few years ago I made a gardener's wreath from an old piece of hosepipe.  The outside elements caused the flowers to fade and the wreath to lose its shape. Making a new one has been on my to do list for quite awhile.  I've been gathering bits and pieces, some new and some from the old wreath and finally this afternoon I got around to gluing it all together.


Wrap an old hose around about 4 times to form the wreath shape.  Tie with twine in a couple of places to hold the shape. Then glue on any garden related items you can find.
 
I even found an old hosepipe hanger to fasten onto the door and hang my wreath onto.  I think the hanger will help the wreath keep its round shape as my old one had been stretched out of shape.
 
Thanks for visiting today. I hope you can take a moment to leave a comment and say hi.
