This lovely little Bay wreath is simple to construct.

All you need is:

cardboard & a heart,

a few bay leaves,

(Magnolia would work well here too

but Bay is sooo fragrant)

all purpose glue and ribbon.

First, I enlarged a trace of a heart shaped cookie cutter and

re-traced that image onto the cardboard.

Next, I headed out to our garden with clippers

and gave our Bay topiaries bit of a trim.

I glued down the leaves in an overlapping pattern

onto the cardboard

and attached one ribbon for hanging

and tied another vintage ribbon,

(love this ribbon!)

into a handsome bow tie.

This little Bay beauty is darling

dangling from the back of a chair…

Wouldn’t it be wonderful marking the ‘seat of honor’

at a baby or wedding shower?

(Have one of those coming up, hmm…)

The Bay wreath is hanging in our kitchen, for now.

It looks nice

against black

or

white

Must make more!

I have a few more Valentine’s Day ideas…

I hope you’ll check back.

Have a wonderful weekend,

Ciao,
