And I’m late responding – sorry about that! I would say a generous bouquet. How’s that for a vague answer? I know I’m awful. I just know that’s what we started with, and we had some nice amounts left over, too. So quite a few stalks should fill up a wreath nicely. ;}

I would love to try this, but I don’t know how many to buy!

I bet you actually never know when you’ll stumble across them – your standard flea market or store or farmers market probably has them… or look online at ebay – we just asked a local farmer. I hope that helps!

Try online at craft supply places. I have seen people selling cotton on Etsy, but its pricy.

I am in SC, with family in the low country where Spanish moss is everywhere draped from live oaks. I made wreaths with the moss this year and they are amazing!
I also love to bring nature inside.

How special! I am so sorry for your loss but adore the sweet ways you’re remembering him. Blessings to you and your precious family!

My Daddy saw this wreath and fell in love with the idea. We both grew up around Lubbock Texas where cotton is in abundance. We were going to make one this Autumn. In May he left this earth for his heavenly home. I got some cotton seed from ‘back home’ and grew a cotton patch in my front yard. It grew wonderfully and produced in abundance. Today, I am making the wreath for My Daddy and Me.

I wish I lived anywhere near a cotton farm. The faux ones are so expensive. I love collecting feathers, shells and pine cones to add nature indoors with out all the cheese.
