The wreaths are made from natural materials, such as herbs, pinecones, and pussywillows, as well as materials that are simply fun and unexpected: chile peppers; cinnamon and nutmeg; lots of buttons. This range of materials provides a variety of looks and styles with year-round potential: fall harvest wreaths; lavender wreaths for spring; summer herb garden wreaths; and, of course, holiday wreaths. There is a holly wreath, a gingerbread wreath, and an Advent calendar wreath, to name a few.
Whether a reader wants to dress up a door, brighten a corner, or create a unique accent in the kitchen, bedroom, or bathroom -- this book has a project. Everyone with more taste than money can create a showpiece.
Until the advent of hot glue guns and Styrofoam bases, wreaths were made entirely by hand, with straw, twigs, flowers, and other natural materials twisted into circles, then fastened with strings, vines, and rope. Even though wreath-making is an ancient tradition, fortunately for the present-day wreath-maker several modern conveniences exist.
This chapter addresses the technical aspects of wreath-making. It's not a complicated process; in fact, there are only three basic elements -- the base, the material and the means of attachment. Included here is advice on how to assemble wreaths, how to hang them, and how to care for them. In addition, this chapter has tips on drying, preserving, and pressing, and flowers and herbs so that you can build up an inventory of materials.
