Wreath making is dirty work! Keep your work area tidy and clean. Use the Dustbuster OFTEN. Nothing is so frustrating as having your area look like a bomb went off in it after you are done a project. It also stiffles creativity.  Make clean-up easy. Clean up as you go!</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTvAEEqtV0evokH4E1cClUIanquHRCfCQWUHThKY8-DNg2Tv_PaDN38emUSzeSonDeAVixmbKDBEDjZMSZlt_zWtHO6DOXpAmELkI11XokIS32QaIlpCNKExNrqgK07KQ_A3pnghp4ZPeG/s1600/Copy+of+IMG_5355.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTvAEEqtV0evokH4E1cClUIanquHRCfCQWUHThKY8-DNg2Tv_PaDN38emUSzeSonDeAVixmbKDBEDjZMSZlt_zWtHO6DOXpAmELkI11XokIS32QaIlpCNKExNrqgK07KQ_A3pnghp4ZPeG/s640/Copy+of+IMG_5355.JPG" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA-oUwDVqVgfHo7dnJFi032jgMkwpIMLHwrdQTPPeBwDQuvcKTsDtavRB8tCA-4jLNPMI9pIYthj74gGalCt2yzGBmwxoep8E7_fFY4k4VBMX3oduS8Nb-OeGnDR26Drjc21okc95x4_kH/s1600/Copy+of+IMG_5354.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjA-oUwDVqVgfHo7dnJFi032jgMkwpIMLHwrdQTPPeBwDQuvcKTsDtavRB8tCA-4jLNPMI9pIYthj74gGalCt2yzGBmwxoep8E7_fFY4k4VBMX3oduS8Nb-OeGnDR26Drjc21okc95x4_kH/s640/Copy+of+IMG_5354.JPG" width="460" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large;">U</span>se 2 grapevine wreaths wired together for the base of the wreath.
