After my success with my Ravens Wreaths, I needed to try my hand at Christmas wreaths. The one above is the first one, and the one below is my second one. I am pleased with their turnout. I tried to keep the decoration simple, I think they look best this way. I have seen some pretty loud and gawdy wreaths at some craft shows. I am using a combination of tubes and cut piece ruffles. I start with two differnt color tubes crossed and go around the wreath frame attaching the tubes to each section (6 sections to a frame). I follow with a layer of ruffles, another layer of tubes, and a last layer or two of ruffles. They are full and really beautiful. They look much better IRL.
This is the second wreath I finished this afternoon. Very similar, except this one has no green and has silver accents. I just sold this to a friend in Arizona through Facebook. I was only going to make three of these for the craft show, but looks like I may sell the other one before the show as well. I will have to order more supplies from the craft outlet soon. I have sold 2 raven's wreaths and one Christmas wreath this week. This is becoming a very lucrative craft!
These wreaths are so popular right now. I agree that they need to be kept fairly simple because the wreaths themselves are quite busy. Thanks for sharing with Share Your Cup. I'm sure it's not intentional, but I am not seeing a link back to the party. Now following.

Hi Jann, my sister Vicki actually added me to Share Your Cup and didn't convey to me that I should return the link. I have no problems with that, will put up a link to you today, thanks for visiting!
