Bush trimmings into a wreath

 I really love these green wreaths.....I have wanted one for a while. But I am cheap on buying wreaths since I have made so many now. My husband was trimming our bushes this fall and I saw all of these beautiful leaves as I was cleaning up the yard and decided to try some projects. I made a wreath and some decorative balls. I also didn't want to buy any forms. So I used what I had on hand.

for my ball shape I used plastic grocery store bags and formed them into a ball. I used a little tape to keep it's shape. Next I wrapped green tissue paper around the ball just in case any leaves didn't cover all of the ball. Using a hot glue gun I glue on my clippings into a cute and little hairy ball.

I used a left over case lot box for my wreath form. Next, a plate and marker to draw the shape. Then I hot glued some of the packaging for the filling, tissue paper, and greenery.
