Making Rosemary Trees and Wreaths





Today I made Christmas trees of rosemary. I have a long row of rosemary bushes which allows me to make wreathes and trees.
Here are pictures showing how I made the tree.
I use floral pins to attach the rosemary to the foam trees. Later I will decorate the tree with berries etc.

1. A basket of rosemary, some cut small and most long

2. Attatching the rosemary with floral pins, three sprigs at a time, starting about 2 inches down from the top
3. Putting on a second row, about one inch down from the first row
4. Here I have added the top of the tree using the smaller sprigs.
5. All done !

I love reading your blog...I feel like I've stepped back in time to a place when things were easier and more innocent. I even sent it to my mom...she loves it to! :) happy Thursday!
p.s. Feel free to stop on over at my blog and visit anytime.

How cute are those trees?! I'll bet they smell delicious, too. I love decorating for Christmas. This year I hope to do better than last year. I was in Peru the two weeks prior to Christmas last year and never had time to do much. But I wouldn't trade that time in Peru for anything...

These rosemary trees are so pretty, if I can find the foam trees I shall have a go, I've got a couple of big rosemary bushes so plenty of foliage to use.
