November 17, Christmas wreath

For my newsletter (which I still have to post...) I made a Christmas wreath with small reindeer (not crocheted) around a styrofoam circle (17 cm diameter).

You cannot see the small leaves around, which I made by making 5 double crochet, 5 single crochet around and the on the other side the same. Then double crochet all around (the rim) and then leaves on the otehr side (but exactly opposite, so 5 double crochet where I started with 5 single crochet and vice versa). For the middle I used a different thread (and a smaller hook) and I like that it forms a star in the middle.
