Made these wreaths out of old fake tree instead of throwing it away, have them for years now add something often, this year added candles, that's a french horn in the middle, was bress but due to tarnishing etc., I painted them white

Those are very nice, and so sensible of you to recycle your old tree. The horns were very striking inside them.

I wish I'd thought of something like that last year Susie as I threw out a 6 foot artificial Christmas tree!!!  I love the idea you had of incorporating the French horn. Really beautiful.

Lovely, especially hung on your doors like that, the color contrast is very striking. Great 'reuse' of an old bit of decor, I'll have to keep it in mind.

Well, SusieQ!!  Aren't you the clever gal?!?
Those are beautiful wreaths, much nicer than most of the pre-made ones I've seen in stores,
and a great re-purposing of an existing item - ecological, economical
 and just plain gorgeous!!
