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.

Wonder? Could you do your braid with the circular wire frame in the midst of the braid?
