As I was tidying up mums in the pots from the fall, I thought the dried cuttings could be used to make a spring wreath for my front door. A silk flower ring was used to place the dried pieces and flowers, a bow to hang. The first picture is of some wildflowers I picked while dead heading this afternoon, they are as pretty as any other I believe.

mums needed clipping
Yep I can use these clippings.
I pushed the clippings into the floral foam ring. this view from backside.
I purchased white flowers pushed them into the foam on front and added a bow.
I think it looks like spring with the white flowers budding in the center
