Purple Potatoes and Black Cherries Wreath
These projects are courtesy of Laura Dowling’s new book Wreaths With How-to Tutorials. Like a floral arrangement, these wreaths will last several days to a couple of weeks depending on the produce and the weather. Most of these wreaths start with a layer of ruched ribbon which is ribbon made into looped strands using bullion wire, click here for instructions.
Purple or red potatoes can be used to make this cheerful display. To make this wreath, a garland of ruched ribbon is wrapped around the form. The potatoes were strung together in sets of three with straight wire then fastened to the form until it was completely covered. The cherries were wired together on wood picks then inserted throughout the potatoes. Wild sweet pea vines - cut into 10" to 12" lengths - and wild roses inserted in water picks are then mixed into the potatoes.
