How to Make a Lemon Wreath

Here in the Northwest we've had our share of gloomy days this winter and this wreath is just the thing to brighten things up.

These are pretty simple to make so in no time you could brighten up a wall or door in your home. So, gather up your supplies and make Spring happen early.

Use whatever fruit you like. We used the bright lemons, but anything that suits you would be lovely. 

You can use any filler greens that you like. Stick them right into the wreath form in a pleasing pattern. You don't have to use a whole stem of greens, just cut off the pieces you need and place them randomly around.

Glue them in place when you get the arrangement you like. Make sure to have everything evenly distributed so that it doesn't look lopsided.

For the fruit, simply poke a hole in it with the tip of your scissors, and take a wooden floral stick and hot glue it into the hole.

You can use any area of the fruit - randomly to give it a nicer appearance. Then stick them into the wreath where you want them, and glue them in place. Start with one at each compass point, and then fill in the rest to keep it balanced.

That is all there is to it. Hang it up and enjoy!
