Description
BACK THIS YEAR, is our popular Wreath making Kit - A proverbial 'Workshop in a box'. Not only will you create a gorgeous, bespoke wreath, but you will also learn how to weave the base! Making your very own unique Christmas Wreath, from scratch! No plastic or metal frames here, as the simple willow/vine ring that you weave will be used as your base and then decorated using natural materials, lush foliage, scented herbs, berries, cones, fruit and so much more. You do not need any prior experience or floristry skills, but bags of enthusiasm as you will be sent an in depth video, where you will be guided step by step to create a beautiful, scented wreath. Only natural materials are utilized, ensuring environmentally friendly credentials and furthermore the base can be reused year on year, season to season. You can go traditional and cover the entire wreath base in rich, evergreen foliage or you can decide to keep some of the willow exposed to show off the natural beauty of the twisted vines. Either way the wreath will be a reflection of your creativity and taste. Should you prefer a bit of bling, ribbon, Xmas Baubles or even fairy lights, are easy to add. Finally you will end up with a unique, personalised Christmas wreath which will last the entire Christmas period. Once your door or wall in your home is decorated, you can look to one of the most important meals of the year and think about a Christmas arrangement for the table. There are Christmas Table centrepiece Kits available as well. Remember: After the season, don't forget to remove the material and pack the base away, ready to bring it out again to decorate for Spring in the New Year.
