I love eucalyptus...with it's woodsy aroma I find it perfect to use around ma maison for the Fall season.
This simple wreath was made with just a few "ingredients", all of which you can pick up at the craft store. You'll need a bunch of eucalyptus, 12 gauge aluminum floral wire (I used black), 24 gauge floral wire (use green) and some wire cutters....
Bend the wire into shape....I chose hearts. The aluminum floral wire is easy to bend so that you won't need any tools. Twist the ends together to hold...
Snip off some pieces of eucalyptus and your 24 gauge wire and start wrapping. I wanted a very simple look and only used one layer of leaves...but you could do more or make this larger.....
If you plan on hanging it on a hook, add some wire to the backside....
Lovely and simple....easy fixins!
