SATURDAY February 1, 2020 1:30-4:00pm $45 per student
Class will cover the basics of decorating an 18” fir wreath using winter themed embellishments and ribbon to create a piece of art attendees will be proud to display! Students will learn how to attach embellishments using both wire and glue. They will also learn the placement of embellishments needed to create an aesthetically pleasing wreath, along with bow making, to add that little extra something! Students will choose from a snowman, penguin, or deer as their focal point with snowflakes and ribbon of all colors, sizes, and patterns. Then they’ll choose between blue, red, purple, gold, or silver bulbs to incorporate into their masterpiece. Each wreath will display a unique style as it’s your choice of materials! Feel free to bring your ideas as well, as Alexis will be able to help participants make your visions come true!
