OK, my SIL's Christmas present is made and a couple for myself and another friend. Thought I'd show off the four wreaths that I made. Working out the kinks in my directions as I went through the process of making these.
The only real changes were that I tied the moss on as I went as the pieces of moss got smaller, and I put on the hanger after the moss was attached and prior to putting the plants into the wreath.
I got four wreaths out of the sack of moss I bought. Here's the pics:
1st Wreath remade 3 times - like the blue/green sedums in this one ( photo / image / picture from Jewell2009's Garden )
Primarily Sedum spurium “tricolor" and "red carpet" ( photo / image / picture from Jewell2009's Garden )
Has a lot of Sedum pluricaule ezawe 'compact' ( photo / image / picture from Jewell2009's Garden )
Very fat wreath ( photo / image / picture from Jewell2009's Garden )
All four of the wreaths ( photo / image / picture from Jewell2009's Garden )

Amazing! Glad I don't have to choose just one as a favorite. They will make lovely gifts. I know I would be thrilled to receive one!

Thanks for the kind words. We are getting together after work and each making one. I think I am pretty much wreathed-out though.  I think I will just lend a hand where needed and bring the instructions  .
