making a nature wreath

This year, for our "annual girls' craft night", we made pine cone wreaths. 

This would have been a fun craft to do with the kids if I'd been organized to go collecting with them before it snowed...  The kids already like to bring sticks, dried leaves, pine cones etc. into the house, why not have a little scavenger hunt and then let them use their treasures to decorate a wreath?  It would be a great way to recycle some old ribbons and ornaments as well.

Mine ended up being quite simple, but I like it as a backdrop for other Christmas decorations on the mantle in our living room.

Elli's tip: stand up while you're making it so you can get a better view!  Oh, and a little wine doesn't hurt either...

Great idea. I love the notion of collecting natural resources and turning them into something amazing.

Sounds like you had a fun night as well.
