A Garlic Wreath

Hey my friends!

How has your week been? Great, I hope :)

I’m so thankful for the gorgeous weather we’ve had here!

I wanted to share a little wreath I made this week.  It’s a garlic wreath.

Here’s how it turned out.

 

garlic wreath

I used size 18 gauge Steel Wire, along with about 15 heads of garlic…

(5 heads of garlic for 1$ each, and wire already on hand)

wire

I cut the wire about 24 inches long and strung the garlic onto the wire.

I didn’t use every head of garlic, because it was beginning to weigh it down.

I wanted it to hang in a nice little circle, as a wreath.

If you like the smell of garlic, this is a fun little project.

I might try to make a garlic garland next…anyone ever tried this??

A possible sweet little homemade gift for the holidays…

I’m joining these parties :

  4. Cute kitchen wreath. If you can find the garlic with the tops still on you can braid them into a garland. Good luck~ xo Diana

  7. I've been trying to come up with a way to hang garlic so that I can pick it off the hanger when I want to use it. Can't wait to see what you do next.

  15. This is so cute! I bet your house smells wonderful. I have been following you for a few months now and just love your blog. Will you let us know how long it lasts once you have the wreath up for a while?
    Keep up the good work!
