Question 1

How long will my wreath last?

Accepted Answer

I advise people sprinkle a bit of water on the moss base every week or so, which makes your wreath last longer. In cold temperatures, these wreaths can last up to 3 months!! (Some foliage will dry out and won't retain it's freshness completely but they still look stunning well beyond Xmas).

Question 2

I've never made a wreath before, will I be able to do it?

Accepted Answer

YES! Everyone can make a wreath. You don't have to be artistic, creative or have had any floristry experience. I will show you all the steps and be on hand to help anyone who needs a little extra help. Do not worry!

Question 3

How big will my wreath be?

Accepted Answer

Once finished, your wreath will measure approximately 45cm in diameter (some will be slightly smaller or larger depending on how compact people wire the foliage in).

Question 4

How do I hang my wreath open my door?

Accepted Answer

We make sure we tie some string onto the wreath at the beginning to provide you with a hook to hang it. You will either need to get a "wreath hanger" that hooks onto your door, or a suction hook, or you can put a discreet nail on the inside at the top for the string to hang from.

Question 5

Will there be a choice of materials?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We all use the same moss and Spruce base and foliage, though I will always bring more with me in case people want to swap more for one type. I then have a selection of embellishments: dried fruits, cones, berries, and ribbons for you to make it your own!

Question 6

Do I need to wear old clothes?

Accepted Answer

No, this is not a particularly messy craft, however some of the materials may be wet and your hands may get slightly dirty handling the foliage, so best not wear anything too valuable, but I do provide gloves and aprons for those that wish to use them.

Question 7

Is this a fake wreath?

Accepted Answer

No, I only use fresh and natural foliage that lasts well in Winter.

Question 8

Can I bring some other elements to add to my wreath?

Accepted Answer

Of course, if you have specific theme and you want to add some extras to your wreath, please feel free to bring them along and I can help advise how best to secure them.
