Because our home sits alone in the middle of farmland amidst gently rolling hills, the winter winds can really<span style="font-size: x-large;"> whip</span> around us. I need a wreath that would be sturdy and secure to withstand any wind. We are somewhat protected from the elements thanks to our wrap-around porch, but I used materials that could withstand anything mother nature could throw at us- and usually does!</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">Winter Wreath Tutorial:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Materials:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;">"twiggy" wreath- grapevine, willow, spray painted soft white</div><div style="text-align: center;">white plastic "paper coin" branches</div><div style="text-align: center;">silver leaves, I bought a garland after Christmas and  cut it up</div><div style="text-align: center;">hot glue gun</div><div style="text-align: center;">wire cutters</div><div style="text-align: center;">dust buster*</div><div style="text-align: center;">garbage bags*</div><div style="text-align: center;">I decided not to use the Spanish Moss or the white moss.
