For the past 19 years, I have made the wreath for my mom's grave. I find that the prepared ones at the florists are just not nice. Tacky actually.
This year, I must make two; one for mom and one for my brother.
I purchased the wreaths for $7.99. They smell so good.

I then gather various decorative items and personalize the wreaths the way I want to.
Here is Mom's.

Here is my brother's that I decorated with my younger niece.

I glittered seashells but ahem, the day after placing the wreath, a big rain storm came and washed away the glitter.
Does anyone know how to make glitter stay put in wet weather?

Those are beautiful and so special Carmie! It is nice that you can personalize them and give them a gift from you and your niece! I know that they love them because they came from your heart. :) Not sure how to make the glitter stay though, that stinks!!
These are beautiful Carmie. What a special way to honor your loved ones.
What a sweet idea. Your wreaths are a great and beautiful way to remember your loved ones this holiday season.

How beautiful and sweet remembering of your Mom and your Brother. You're a really special lady. ~ Blessings, Janet
You did a really nice job on these wreaths, Carmie. I'm wondering if a spray polyurethane or sealer that works for outdoor/exterior projects would protect the glitter.
Carmie these are really great.
You are such a thoughtful sweet person.

Both of those wreaths are beautiful and what a lovely way to remember loved ones. I think a spray on sealer would probably help keep the glitter on.
