The door wreath is made from the pinecone embellishments (in threes) from the last few years' wreaths we've bought from Morrison's, together with some pine and alder cones I've picked up over time.  The walnuts, painted deep red with gold highlights and sporting gold or red bows on the top, were made by me and originally hung on our Christmas tree, many years ago - I snipped off the hanging cords.  The ribbon is re-used from something else:

The candle wreath is made from used, spent Christmas pot pourri elements, together with pine and alder cones as above:

The only new bits are the two wreath bases and the glue in the glue-gun. Both pictures taken with my new camera, not bad for something even I find too small to hold!

Well done on all the re-purposing, both fab, the 'berries' on the indoor one and a nice bit of colour.

Thanks, girls: I really enjoy finding ways of re-using stuff. Had had all this in my stash for ages, so glad I got them made.
