How To Make A Lavender Wreath

Today I'm crafting with one of my very favorite things: flowers!  This step by step tutorial will show you how to make a lavender wreath that can be enjoyed for both its beauty and its soothing fragrance. 

Who doesn't like lavender?  The color is such a beautiful shade of purple and lavender's lovely scent has calming effects.  Lavender is also really easy to grow and attracts bees and butterflies.  I have some in my front yard because it's drought tolerant and low maintenance.

Isn't it pretty?

It smells wonderful too!  I cut a big bundle to make my wreath. 

I used a metal wreath form because that's what I had.  I think a grapevine or foam wreath would also work.  I also used some floral wire that I got for a buck at the dollar store and some wire cutters.

I cut the wire into five inch pieces, 

but your pieces may be bigger or smaller depending on on what size wreath form you use.

Gather the lavender into a bundle and place it on the wreath form.  Don't worry about those long stems.  They will help cover up the wreath form and add fullness to the wreath.  The stems are also very fragrant!

Secure the lavender to the wreath with the wire you've cut.  

Be careful, the cut ends of the wire are sharp!

Keep adding bundles of lavender and work your way around the wreath form.  

Here's the wreath half way done.

When you're finished, you'll have a beautiful lavender wreath that looks and smells lovely!
