Time for a little throwback! I've been so busy the last few months that I never got around to posting about this Christmas wreath making workshop I ran. This was part of the Hobbycraft 12 makes of Christmas workshops, which allowed customers to have a go at a range of Christmas crafts during the lead up to the holidays.
Having made many wreaths in the past I was asked to run the Christmas wreath making workshop back in November and I have to say it was brilliant and a lot of fun!
These workshops include all sorts from advent making, fillable decorations, Christmas eve boxes, cracker making and many more. Hobbycraft have run these Christmas workshops for a few years now and are well worth checking out. This particular workshop cost £15, which I have to say was an absolute bargain when you take into account the number of materials they each used to build up their wreaths.
The table was filled with a whole range of floral picks, pine cones, dried oranges, floristry wire and much more.
After running through the basics of wreath making I let the groups loose to create their own wreaths in whatever way they liked.
It was so interesting to see what the favourite themes were. Many seemed to love creating a neutral modern frosty winter wonderland look. But the traditional red was also a big favourite.
Both groups absolutely loved the workshop and were thrilled with what they had created. I think they were all a little surprised at how easy it is to make something so stunning that can be used year after year. I have to say I too felt rather inspired by what they had all created afterwards!
The photos you see here are only a small sample, in total 20 wreaths were made!
