Lemons add a splash of color to an evergreen wreath.
Create a colorful holiday wreath using lemons and branches from an evergreen. Eucalyptus branches provide a strong, earthy smell that's offset by the citrus smell of the lemons. If you can't find fresh evergreen branches, make do with artificial ones sprayed with a bit of evergreen room freshener.
Instructions
1. Wrap the foam wreath form with the green wreath wrap, thick ribbon or opaque tissue paper until no white is showing. Affix with tape and/or floral pins. Bend heavy wire around the wreath form into a hook for hanging.
2. Cut the eucalyptus branches into small pieces using scissors. Stick a metal pick into each branch. Lay the wreath form flat and insert the metal picks into the form, leaving a small gap between each branch. Create another row of branches, at a different angle, and continue the process until you like how much greenery the wreath has.
3. Hang the wreath with the hook on a wall or door. Continue decorating the wreath using the lemons. Pierce a hole through each lemon using an ice pick. Insert floral wire through the hole and use the wire to affix the lemons to the wreath. Space lemons out for even color distribution.
4. Attach a decorative bow at the bottom of the wreath. Take down the wreath before lemons start to turn bad.
