Throughout the year, Michelle Adams forages, grows, and recycles materials to turn into unique wreaths that can be dried in a fixed location for as long as you want to keep them. It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the changing of seasons! You will learn how to wrap wreath bases made of vine, and then use a variety of natural materials and ribbon to create your own natural wreath.
