Members acquire many strange articles to add to the decorated wreaths. Often they come in with something they think looks beautiful (and is!), but we are left with the issue of how to attach them to the wreath. Some of us are better than others in this regard. We don’t use glue because glue becomes brittle and falls to pieces in freezing weather, and while people often promise they are hanging the wreath indoors, they change their minds and we can’t obligate them to keep their words. Some members come armed with electric drills and awls. Hammering has been heard. Below are some examples of what happens when the often large and interesting element are successfully incorporated.
Cathryn Griffith, today’s Wreath of the Day sponsor, lives near the First Lutheran Church where we make our wreaths, and famously decorates her own wreaths but buys the basic forms from us, which we very much appreciate. Perhaps we can convince her to decorate for us next year.
