How To Make A Aromatic Herb and Spice Wreath?

To make this wreath, growing your own herbs will make it more personally.

These are the items that I will need to make this wreath.

Materials

Pruning shears, scissors, wire cutters, fine spool wire, garden  string, double-ring wire, wreath frame, fresh herbs, dried seed heads, chillies, spices, dry sphagnum moss, florist pins.

1. Get all the materials together. Using pruning shears are handy to cut woody stems, but I can also use my strong scissors. I will use wire cutters to cut short lengths of spool wire to tie up bunches of herbs. Then make a hanging loop from string and knot to the wire wreath frame.

2. Take each kind of herbs that I have and put them in separate piles. I will look over all of my herbs that I have and removed any damaged parts and cut the stems to a uniform length. Place all the delicate leaves, such as sage, in a small amount of water to prevent them from wilting. Leave all the rest of the herbs in separate piles.

3. To cover the wreath frames, I will cut a long piece of string and knot one and to the outer ring of the frame. Then I will take a large  handful  of moss, and I will need to roll it into a firm sausage shape. Place it on the frame then firmly bind the moss with either wire or string to secure it.

4. Keep repeating this until the frame is completely covered, knot the end of the string or wire to the frame to finish off. It is time to mixed the bunches of herbs with using five to seven sprigs in each one., use the wire to bind the stems of each bunch together. The ends of the stems has to be trim to level to neaten.

5. The next step, I have to do is to attach the bunches of herbs to the frame. I will hold one bunch against the inner edge, and I will used my other hand and push a florist's pin through the stems of the bunch and into the moss. Then put the next bunch with the leaves and overlap the stems of the first, and pin like you did before. Keep working the same way all in the same directions.

6. When all the inner edge is completely covered, now secure bunches of herbs to the outer edge in the same way. After I have the outer edge is covered, I will attach the spices and dried herbs to the frame, I will take a florist's pins to put star anise, chillies, seed heads, stick of licorice, and cinnamon in different areas of the wreath.
