I have made a wreath out of cut greens my door & Id like to make one for indoor, will the greens stay green ?

They will for about two weeks if you soak it in water.

I have made a wreath out of cut greens my door %26amp; Id like to make one for indoor, will the greens stay green ?
they will if you spray them with clear coat varnish, and let it dry. before hanging.
Reply:If they are coniferous in origin (pine, etc.) they may stay green for months, but they will dry out, become brittle, and lose needles within a week in a warm (indoor) environment, maybe two or more outside depending on the temperature. Soaked in plain water for at least an hour every couple-few days they will last a couple-few weeks (in cold temperatures, soak once a week and they will last well beyond the holiday season). Soaked in a solution of half glycerin, half water for a week or two they will last for years and still be pliable (the glycerin replaces the water inside the leaves), though the color may darken somewhat.

How long should I leave my Christmas wreath on the door?

There's still snow here and it looks pretty.

How long should I leave my Christmas wreath on the door?
Well, you could always put little loveheart sweets in it and call it a valentine wreath, then add some boiled eggs in time for easter. Leave that lot on all summer and you won't need to add anything else for it to be a halloween wreath!
Reply:Take it down when you put up something on your door for Valentines day. That's kind of the rule of thumb, by the next holiday for sure the previous one is over. There are lots of pretty wreaths for all throughout the year, or you could use the same one all year with different decorations and trim
Reply:I take my Christmas decorations down in the first week of January but if you like it, keep it up!
Reply:As long as you want! Of course, you could get different wreaths for different seasons, and keep a wreath on your door year round.
Reply:leave it up. we still have our whole village scene out in the yard, lights and all. my dads 74, and he won't take it down untill he's ready.

Reply:You can leave it forever!!
Reply:Change it a bit to look like a Valentine wreath.

After all, Mr. Pot did much for the people of Cambodia, giving them much happy work to do in the fields where everybody happily worked together for the common good.

How to hang a wreath on the front door...?

...without putting nails in the door?

How to hang a wreath on the front door...?
They sell hooked brackets that hang over the top of the door, but they can scratch / gouge the door if it's close-fitting to the frame. They also sell a set of two super-strong magnets, one of which has a hook for the wreath, but they only work thru single-thickness glass.


At my last apartment, I tied two pieces of fishing line (about 2 inches apart) near the top of the wreath, ran them over the top of the door %26amp; down the inside of the door. I was able to hook them over the peephole.

Where can I find really tiny silk flowers to wear in my hair as a simple flower head wreath?

I don't want anything too fancy, just some tiny little silk flowers to wear in my hair for a vintage, summery feminine style. I've seen single-flower hair pins but they're always HUGE and I would rather have small flowers that I can pin around my crown (pin at the sides, rather than having it go all the way around to the back).

Does anyone have directions on how to make a wreath out of pine cones?

From experience, go to a craft store and get the green metal round frames, the ones I'm talking about have two circles within each other.Also get some wire used by florists, and wire each pine cone on around the frame. This is your first layer. Now you may add more pine cones, sycamore balls, chestnuts, or whatever you like, but use liquid nails to attach the rest. You should have an excellent wreath upon completion.

go to a crafts store and buy one of those styrofoam rings. then hot-glue the pinecones to the ring; viola! instant wreath.
Reply:Use a straw wreath and start gluing pine cones in a spiral pattern till you have covered the whole wreath, fill in gaps with silk or dried leafs and flowers, you can use acorns twigs, anything out of nature.


you can use a grape vine or twig wreath and glue or wire the pine cones in some pleasing arrangement and add whatever elements that suit the place where its going to hang

Where does the bow go on a wreath, the top or bottom?

You can put it anywhere you want - top, bottom or side - there is no right way. Whatever looks prettiest to you.

Where does the bow go on a wreath, the top or bottom?
It is your wreath, do what you will with it. but I'm going to say the top.
Reply:I even place something in the middle, such as a little snowman. The bow can be placed on top, or on the bottom, or you can even have no bow!
Reply:There is no rule on it what ever you think looks best mine is on the bottom
Reply:Bottom for sad occasions and top for happy ones
Reply:I vote on the bottom because visually it adds weight. It is personal taste.
Reply:Top...........
Reply:the ones i see are on the top
Reply:There is no set way for placing a bow on a wreath... You can place it at the top, at the bottom or in the middle... just keep in mind if you place it in the middle, it will look more like a funeral wreath.





If you place the bow at the top, make certain that the bow does not overpower the entire wreath. If you aren't putting any decorations other than the bow on the wreath, you might want to consider using a gauzy see-thru bow so the wreath is not top heavy. Same goes for putting the bow on the bottom... make sure it is not bottom-heavy.





Personally, I prefer the bow at the top with the ribbons hanging down the middle and just touching the bottom of the wreath but it is definitely a personal choice.


How do you make a baby shower wreath?

Instructions for diaper wreath








You will need -





1 wreath base - straw or styrofoam


1 package newborn size diapers


1 pack of dental floss


curling ribbon


Small Baby Items (to decorate)








Tie dental floss completely around the wreath in a circular fashion. Do not cut until the wreath is finished. Place one prefolded diaper (straight from package) against the wreath, cinch it in the middle and wrap the floss cinched area. Next, wrap the floss around the wreath to tie the diaper on. The diaper should now have the top (where the fasteners are) area pointed toward the center of the wreath, and the bottom facing outward. Place another diaper, closely together, facing the opposite direction (bottom inward, top outward) on the wreath. Continue in this manner til the front of the wreath is covered. Tie off floss and cut.





Decorate wreath using curling ribbon, and by tucking the small baby items into the floss and ribbon.

Go to a craft shop and get a wire frame. the foam ones will not stand the strain. then use florest wire to layer the branchs and tie them to the frame. when you have gone all the way around, finish with a few little pine cones and a velvet ribbon.
Reply:go to a craft store like Michael's and buy a wire wreath frame. Weave the pine on to it and secure with floral wire. You can get that at craft store too.

Will trimming a bridal wreath shrub stop it from flowering next year?

My flowers on the bridal wreath didn't last long this year, they all disappeared after our first heavy rain. The shrub has been growing very well, but I would like to know if I can trim the shrub to keep it shaped without jeopardizing the chance of getting flowers next year.

Will trimming a bridal wreath shrub stop it from flowering next year?
If you trim it now or in the fall you will be cutting off next year's flower buds (just like in lilacs). Many times I've seen lawn care people do this in the summer. Eventually, normal leafing returns, and the plant has a more pleasing shape, but the cascading blooming stems we hope for next year are gone.
Reply:It needs to be pruned right after it has finished flowering or yes you will be pruning off next springs flowers.
Reply:The only time you should not trim any flowering shrub is while it's flowering. To be kindest to the plant, trimming in the late fall (before the first freeze) would be best. The plant has shut down for the winter and sap is no longer flowing through it's branches. You can also trim in the very early spring, but be prepared for a lot of "bleeding" to occur because the new sap is rising. You should always make sure that you make all cuts straight across the branch. Cutting at an angle will stop the plant from closing off it's veins.
Reply:Spirea prunifolia (Bridalwreath) is a spring bloomer, and like most spring bloomers, it blooms on old wood. The time to prune this whole category of shrub is immediately after blooming. This way the shrub has all summer to produce wood that will make bloom next spring. At this point, you may want to wait until after next spring's flowering to prune.


How do I activate the online presence with the gold wreath given to Power users?

Open the cupboard and take the flask. Then Turn on the microwave with the ratchet.


Turn off the lights and wait for a grue to appear. Then turn on the oil lamp to blind it and open the microwave. Immediately hit the Grue with your WiFi router on the head powerfully to show you are a Power user, and it will then activate your online presence, whenever you have a gold wreath.

DAMN How much time will he need ?
Reply:Only if he lays a wreath on the graves of the Jewish terrorists of Irgun and Stern Gang. Look it up. Ever hear of the King David Hotel bombing, orchestrated by future Israeli PM Menachem Begin? Probably not. What about Deir Yassin? Terrorism goes both ways.





Based on the thumbs down, it seems like some people have a serious aversion to the truth. I know, it hurts sometimes.
Reply:Yes he should, if it hurts you all the more :)





He's doing something positive for a change. It's idiots like you who become the president of the US and attack innocent countries in the name of 'WMD'.
Reply:Jimmy Carter was one of the worst Presidents that we have ever had. He has only been beaten by George Bush as far as being the worst. Jimmy needs to park the Bus.


Does anyone know where I can find instructions on making a wreath with hydrangeas?

Okay, this is an easy project! I made one a few years ago as a house warming gift for my friend. I used dried blue, violet and pink Hydrangea flower heads and floral wire and one of those $5 grapevine wreaths. I just wired the flower heads to the wreath, used about 20 of them, it was full and beautiful! And my friend loved it!

How do I make a big bow for a wreath?

I'm not sure I can explain this, but I will try. Take a very long piece of ribbon, your choice of width, but make it compatible with your wreath (not narrow for a large wreath, not real wide for a small wreath). With the right side of the ribbon toward you, holding it in your left hand between your thumb and first finger, drop a length that would equal one strand down. Make a loop towards the left side of your hand (don't make the loop too large, it will droop), now, as you bring the ribbon to the right side of your thumb, twist it a half twist so the right side is facing you and make a loop on the right side of your thumb. Remember to hold tight with your thumb and finger. Now take the ribbon and pass it back under between your thumb and finger to the left side again, twisting to keep the right side of the ribbon toward you. Continue doing this until you have about 5 or 6 loops on each side. Droop a length to make the other hanging strand. Take a piece of craft wire and tightly tie together between your thumb and finger. If you leave your wire long enough, you can run the wire through your wreath and tie it on with it. This takes a little practice, but soon you will be an expert at it. Good luck!

Reply:My mom is Idaho's equivalant to Martha Stewart and she showed me some tricks anyone can master. I'm TERRIBLE with bows so she instructed me to pick ribbon that has a really fine wire to make it super easy to work with (I get mine at the dollar store). then just work it into loops holding it between your thumb and forefinger. You can make it as large or small as you want but 5 loops usually make a nice full bow. Take a bread tie or craft wire to secure the loops, then fluff and arrange your bow until it looks the way you want. If you can't hold the loops you and put a dot of hot glue as you go. FYI, don't waste your money on the "bow makers" you see in the craft stores.
