Inside the kit you will find simple to follow step-by-step instructions, as well as a link to an online guided tutorial by The Art Doctor UK. This is suitable for beginner crafters - no experience required. ***Create a personalised wreath by embossing the family names into the leaves, or add foliage designs and shapes of your choice.*** You will be shown a range of techniques in the video/instructions, and get to experiment a little before committing to your design by using the spare embossing metal. You will learn embossing, wire sculpting, metal sculpting, and composition skills by creating your own wreath at home. Optional: You have the option to burn copper coloured metal foil with a hand held heat gun or small blow torch to reveal the beautiful colours conducted by the metal.

It is the perfect gift to yourself or others to get you in the festive season. * Please note this is an adult craft kit, if using with children, please supervise carefully as metal edges can be sharp, and do not use blow torch option. * Intended for indoor use only. ***There is nothing else like this on the market!***
