Skill Level: Novice
Time: 2-3 hours
Cost: Less than $50
Tools and Materials
- Short garden hose
- Pair of garden gloves
- Hand trowel
- Hand cultivator
- 2 3-inch terra-cotta pots
- Twine
- Clear cable ties
- Any other gardening items you’d like to add to the wreath
Step 1
Coil your garden hose to the size that you would like your wreath to be. This is going to be the base of your wreath.
Step 2
Secure the hose with cable ties.
Step 3
Decide where you would like each ornament on your wreath. Imagine the circle of hose is a clock face, and place the larger items-the trowel, cultivator and gloves-at approximately 12 o’clock, 4 o’clock and 8 o’clock.
The terra-cotta pots should be placed at more-or-less opposite ends of the circle.
Fill in the spaces with smaller items, such as seed envelopes, plastic flowers, plant tags or anything else that means “gardening” to you.
Step 4
Tie each item onto the hose with twine.
Take care to secure the heavier items with extra twine. You might even want to add a cable tie for extra strength, and cover it with twine.
Step 5
Hang your Garden Hose Wreath on your front door, above your potting table, or anywhere else you want to proclaim your love of gardening.
