Wreath Making Workshops

About this event

Get ready for the holidays by building your own boxwood wreath with a bow at one our Wreath Making Workshops inside the Hatcher Garden Office in the Conference Room. The two-hour workshops are limited to 12 holiday-inspired elves, so sign up now. $20 per person. Refreshments will be served. Pre-registration is required. Caroline Starnes Bell will be our instructor.

Once we know the number of people who will be attending, we will provide the boxwood and pipe cleaners that is needed for making wreaths and bows. Due to an overwhelming interest, we will be offering two classes: the first begins at 1:00PM and the second class starts at 3:30PM .

Here is a list of supplies that you will need to bring :

The retail establishments mentioned below are a suggestion only. You don't need to necessarily purchase from these stores but will need the following materials to make a wreath:

• A straw or foam wreath form that can be ordered from amazon.com or purchased locally at Michael’s or Hobby Lobby . (On amazon.com, lookup FloraCraft Straw Wreath Form 18 Inch Natural.)

• Ribbon of your choice, preferably wired edges and you need at least 10 yard bolt for one substantial bow with long tails

• Two packs of fern pins . On amazon.com, look up Panacea Sharp Greening pins (1.75" 50/Pkg, 1 Pack, Silver) or anything similar. It does not have to be that specific brand, sometimes Michael’s or Hobby Lobby may have them as well.

• A good pair of clippers - Fiskars at Lowe's is the best and longest lasting - but just a pair of clippers that will cut stems of boxwood and a pair of scissors to cut ribbon with wire.

Please register for one of the two workshops below in order that we obtain enough material (boxwood and pipe cleaners) for the wreath building.
