Eucalyptus Wreath
The invigorating fragrance of eucalyptus makes this wreath an aromatic
delight for the December holidays; you might even want to hang it inside
your front door, instead of the outside, to enjoy the fragrance better.
In a smaller version this wreath would also make a lovely centerpiece
for your holiday dinner table, especially if you set a bowl of fruit and
nuts inside it.
