start looking for Holiday Wreath filler




Ok it is time to start looking for what I like to call fillers for making your holiday wreath. If you have an old wreath that needs a new look or redo, that will work toooooo. I found some really cute stuff at the dollar tree store, they already have those small items that make your wreath on the door sparkle. Did I say what a filler is? That is the stuff that makes your wreath or fireplace deco look so good. Filler is also known as pickers at Jo Ann's or Micheals. Please note in the picture that I have just found a few of the items I need. I also added some of the things I have in my craft closet and a umbrella stand that is in my living room in a corner of the room. (I would never show you a picture of that mess, but some how it works in this corner.)

I find really good buys in say "curly willow" and will store it there. Curly willow is a natural branch that curls in really cute angles, it can be cut to fit into your item.) As you know curly willow is very expensive but you only use a small amount, of the branch, when added to an arrangement it will make that item spectacular.

I have added in the picture some ting-ting (who thought of that name?) in a bronze color, it's the long twirly stuff. Make sure to check out the import stores for silver or Gold ting-ting or something like that sparkles. While your thinking of it buy some gold glitter spray, and be thinking of shiney ribbons in a large width, it will make or break your wreath.
