How do I make a square bayleaf wreath?

Question

Like the ones in the Pottery Barn catalog.
Do I just get bay leaves and a glue gun?

Answer 1

Materials:
Fresh bay leaves
Wreath frame ( can be made out of a coat hanger if you can't find one)
Paddle wire ( floral section of craft store )
Instructions:
Assemble many small , mini ' bouquets ' of the bay leaves together by tightly wrapping each cluster together with wire around the base.
Now lay your first cluster on the wire frame.
Attach the paddle wire to the frame and around the bottom of the first cluster. Wrap the base tightly.
Lay your next cluster on the wire base, slightly covering the wired on section of the last cluster. Twist the wire tightly around the base of the second cluster.
Continue adding the clusters around the wire frame in this same manner ( making sure each one covers the wires of the previous cluster, and each cluster is facing the same direction.
When you reach the top again, wrap the wire several times around the frame and form a hanging loop. End off and make sure the wire end does not poke out anywhere, where it could scratch the door or wall.
Hope my instructions were clear. Good Luck. You'll get the hang of it.
