Miniature Lace Wreaths

White florist's wire
1/2- to 3/4 inch-wide white or ecru lace (approximately 1/2 to 3/4 yard per wreath)
Dried herb blossoms or rosebuds, seeds or berries
1/8-inch wide satin ribbon
Craft glue or hot-glue gun

~ Using the florist's wire, form a 2- to 3-inch diameter circle. (Use a bottle or other round object to help make your circle.) Don't fasten the ends together, but make sure they overlap about 1 inch.

~ Thread the lace onto the wire until you have a full-gathered circle. Now loop the ends of the wire together to fasten, and trim the ends.

~ Decorate your wreath with blossoms, seeds or berries using the glue or glue-gun.

~ To complete your wreath, attach a loop of ribbon and a bow in your favorite color.
