We have a variegated Holly bush in our yard.
Last year Blossom, inspired by her favourite TV show, thought it would be fun to create a Christmas wreath out of it for our front door. This morning Blossom announced that she would really really like to make another one this year.
By
she she really means
me.
Holly handling requires this sort of equipment. Heavy duty gloves are a must.
We re-used the wire frame Firegazer made last year from bendy wire. Much Holly was attached in a random way using small pieces of bendy wire. Then Blossom donned the gloves and applied the finishing touches (bits of red ribbon and shiny stuff recycled from last year).
Ta da! A wreath.
Now I'm off to stick band-aids on my fingers.

It looks fabulous!
Well done, M and Blossom
Very festive!
Loved the last line.
(According to Google Reader, you posted this at one in the morning. What amazing dedication to your readers. Those scratches from the holly must really cause insomnia.)
Froggie, while I AM dedicted to my readers (all three of you) I must confess to posting this at 3pm yesterday. Google reader must be a little tardy leading up to Christmas! (I know how it feels).
zzzzzzzzzz
Looks great! You really suffered for your art, didn't you! :)
Fabulous, creative, colourful-- so much better than the 'plastic fantastic'! Well done, Blossom.
It's holly jolly!
Nice one!
Good grief - wreath envy - that's a new emotion for me!
just lovely .... we had a divine holly hedge all the way round the front of our Dunedin house.
But I never made a wreath - shame on me !! le
Of course, OVA HEAH...the holly has red berries on it at the moment...!
Great job. Good to see you suffering for the cause.
Excellent wreath. I'm impressed. Specially as you shed blood to make it.
