 We made a Spring Wreath today and enjoyed a cream tea at noon (scone, jam and cream) with plenty of fun and laughter.




All the wreaths were fabulous so well done everyone .
Hope you enjoy your creations and they take pride of place on your front doors.


Attach 16 pipe cleaners to the wire wreath ring and cut 16 pieces of deco mesh 25cm x 53cm


Attach the deco mesh using the pipe cleaners in the loop and curl method


Cut 48 pieces of ribbon 25cm in length across 6 colours


Attach each ribbon bundle using the pipe cleaners. Make sure each one is secure and cut of any excess pipe cleaner and tuck in so they cannot be seen.


Using a hot glue gun attach any embellishments as desired


See you all soon
