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.

Those are very neat wreaths. You did a great job making them.

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

Very pretty, might have to make some for presents

I made some to back years ago.
Only a few days ago I was thinking of making one again, because thei're still beautiful!!!

Nice wreaths thanks for sharing
