You're probably surprised to read my words in english !!!
Well, I've decided to write in English too from now !!
It's an idea I've been thinking of for several weeks now, noticing that 95 % of my followers are foreigners...
So, I hope you'll be glad with this decision and I hope you'll tell me about all sentences that sound strange.
And of course many thanks for stopping by and for your lovely comments .... I adore reading all of them !

My post today is about Christmas Wreaths.
They are home decorations really easy to make.
Here, I show you my personal how-to make one wreath.
To begin, you need a ring in polystyrene. Mine is 40 cms in diameter. Then you need acrylic yarn to crochet a rectangle of 25 stitches and 106 rows made of half-trebles. I use a 4mm hook and different colors from my yarn stash.
The rectangle is sewed all around the ring on the wrong side. At the end, we have this wreath :
To trim it, I use many little things like ribbons,
some beads, small tinsel garlands, some fancy buttons, pearlized head pins, some golden and silver threads ...
Some mini wooden pegs in differents shapes : trees, Santa Claus, mooses, snowmen, stars, angels, roses... , some pompoms, some small baubles ....
Let have a look closely :
The baubles and the pompoms are kept with straight pins.
The tinsel garlands are put all around the weath and held with straight pins too.
The buttons are sewed on the crocheted rectangle with a curved needle.
The ribbons are fixed with pearlized head pins.
The breads are fixed with straight pins.
The vegetable ornaments are simply pushed into the polystyrene.
The wooden pegs are just clipped in spaces between the stitches.
Of course, some crocheted ornements can be sewed on it too.
You can see here that some buttons are not sewed but fixed with pins (see the white heart).
I like making this kind of decorations because the result is changing according to the colors of the yarn and the things you put on it. You can play with the colors and the ornaments. It's really pleasant to make.
The two following wreaths are for my husband's office. He wanted one for his door and one for the office.
These wreaths complete my christmas decorations I showed you on my previous post.
Happy hooking
and
Happy knitting !
See you soon !
