MY PURPLE CHRISTMAS WREATH- PART ONE

I love trying new projects each Christmas. So this year I decided to make a purple wreath for my family room that will have a purple and white theme.

There are always a variety of pine cones available in the area to use in projects. Some stores will sell a bag of 6 for $2.00 or more. So finding your own throughout the year and storing them in a dry place allows for material for many projects. If kept inside, remember there can be little bugs in them. Heating for a brief period in the oven on a very low temperature kills them or use a bug spray in a closed plastic bag to make sure the pine cones are okay.

I like to use wire wreath circles for my pinecone projects. These were bought at Michael's Craft store. I am sure you can find some at any craft store near you as well.

So with the wire and pinecones, I'll proceed to the next stage.
