Hello again, I'm so glad you have been stopping by! The Ninth Day will be a fragrant one--there is nothing like the scent of fresh Rosemary! I recently made some wreaths with this aromatic herb. Here's how: First, you will need plenty of fresh Rosemary.. I cut mine and kept it in water for a few days before assembling the wreath.

I used a simple wire form and began threading the Rosemary between the spaces and attaching it with thin floral wire, as needed. It took some time, but went from looking like this....
to this....
...and finally, this! I used more small pieces of wire to fasten a few unruly stems to the frame and trimmed the wayward sprigs. For the most part, I kept its natural twists and turns and then added a burlap bow. Have you made natural wreaths? I would love to see yours!
