A DIY FAUX Eucalyptus Wreath Idea

Prefer to Use FRESH Eucalyptus? OK!
Before you start crafting your fresh eucalyptus wreath, it’s essential to select natural real eucalyptus branches and leaves to ensure your final product looks vibrant and lasts longer. Here are some tips for choosing fresh eucalyptus:
- Look for branches with sturdy stems and a leaf shape that is not wilted or discolored.
- Gently squeeze the stems to check for pliability. Fresh eucalyptus should be bendable without breaking easily. This is essential for wrapping around a foam or metal frame.
- Smell the leaves to ensure they have a strong, fresh scent.
If you purchase individual lengths of eucalyptus from a craft store or market, ask about their delivery schedule to ensure you get the best quality product. Alternatively, if you have access to a eucalyptus tree or know someone who does, consider foraging for branches and leaves yourself.
