Hi Charleen, The turtle is my favorite too. I actually ended up making 7 of them!
The directions for making a turtle will be the same as for making a wreath. I hope to have that tutorial done soon. I didn't make the framework. I paid $9 for the pre-stuffed frame. I thought my time and the materials would be well worth that. Unfortunately the company I got them from doesn't look they like sell the frames only any more....they sell them finished, including the plants, and they're quite expensive. They might still sell them if you contact them, but they're not showing them on their website. The company is Topiary Art Works.
They're really easy to make.
