Miniature Lace and Herb Wreaths
 
Whats Needed:
 
 Herbs, seeds, berries
 White Florist Wire
 1/2�?/4-inch wide ecru or white lace
 Glue
 Coloured Ribbon

Form a 1 1/2�?-inch diameter circle using white florist wire. For ease, form the circle around a
bottle or other round object of the desired size. Do not fasten the wire ends, but allow them to overlap
about 1 inch.

Using one end of the wire as though it were a needle (you may have to smooth "the needle" slightly
with steel wool), thread 1/2�?/4-inch wide ecru or white lace onto the circle. Use about 1/2 yard of
lace, or enough to form a full, gathered circle. Loop the ends of the wire together, and trim off excess. If the lace is not fairly stiff, give the wreath a quick spray of starch and allow it to dry thoroughly.

Decorate by gluing on tiny dried herb blossoms, such as individual chive blossom florets, little
clusters of marjoram flowers, tansy or costmary buttons, feverfew, leaves of thyme, germander,
boxwood, and seeds or berries such as bay and coriander. Finish by attaching a loop for hanging and
a bow of 1/8-inch satin ribbon in a complementary color.
