Holly Wreath: Part Two

On this lovely cold day, we added laurel and holly to the holly wreath base.

Mum trimmed off some laurel and holly branches from some bushes. I held two laurel branches and a holly branch in place, while mum tied the ends onto the wreath. Eventually we stopped doing this and I passed Mum the branches, while she tied them into place. We ran out of laurel, so we just used holly. That is until we had two pieces left, so I trimmed off some more laurel from a different bush using secateurs.

I really enjoyed making the wreath, but I was pleased to finish it because I didn’t have to touch the prickly leaves anymore. I am extremely proud of it, and I am also surprised by the holly wreath’s size.
