    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. :D

    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.

    Lovely wreaths.
    I also use the branches to make winter greenery arrangements.

    Well, SusieQ!! :-D 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
    :stew1: and just plain gorgeous!! [​IMG]
