For the longest time I couldn't think of a favorite 'summer' wreath...... I always use pine and evergreen boughss in winter....... and dried seed pod types wreaths in fall..... In spring sometimes I used easter themed wreaths with eggs etc . ...... aAlthough I guess I don't have a favorite easter spring wreath either...... But I don't like fake flowers and couldn't think of a nice summer theme besides flowers...... Most dried ones didn't hold up in the wreath...... finally I though of a shell wreath...... you can buy seashells if you're inland and of course if you're not inland its easy to find shells...... its really pretty especially if you're seaside...... Here's some instructions:

I also think you could glue shells to a styrofoam shape...... and if there's any bare spots you could cover them with sand...... .... :)
