Then, arrange larger items around the ring. This is a good time to ask whether they want their wreath to be symmetrical, with an even amount of decoration all the way around, or asymmetrical. Talk about the color wheel. If the wreath is uniform in color, it is monochromatic. Contrasting colors can be used to create another look.
Yellow leaves enhance purple lavender, for example.
Using potpourri in the wreaths will delight the nose as well as the eyes. Many packages of potpourri include dried leaves, blossoms, mushrooms, and seed pods. Kitchen spices such as cinnamon sticks, and bay leaves and dried peppers add a domestic dimension to the composition. Finally, match a colored candle to each wreath. Glue on raffia bows, if desired.
