Hi Barbara , thank you...these will have fabric wrapped flat type romex electrical wire shaped into a double wide round
frame sewn onto the back. You could also just use a wire coat hanger shaped into a round and sewn onto the back.
There are also floral wire frames you can buy but I just used what was already around the house. Here's photos, hope
you can see what I mean...
Thank you to all for your lovely comments, I'm going to try some in other seasons to switch off all year.
