Another Vine Idea

Good morning all,
I just can't seem to simply throw things away. Not even the spent plants from early summer or the vines my husband trims in fall (that's another post). The wreath pictured are cuttings from a number of plants that had seen better days. I use the same method I always do when preserving plants, 1/3 glycerine and 2/3 water. Put the cut ends in the solution for two or three weeks, remove, dry and create. I prefer the more rustic type foliage as opposed to silk or plastic for just about any application. Another super alternative are the Greenpurse cloth plants and flowers (that will also be another post). Hope you enjoy the day and have a happy, happy week!
