While we aren’t able to decorate wreaths for our customers in 2021, we do have talented members who, on their kitchen counters or porches, take what items they can gather and proceed to decorate a few wreaths for themselves and for their friends. Sometimes bows are recycled from past seasons – savvy members always store their bows after their wreaths are taken down. Wired ribbon can be fluffed and resuscitated, even taken apart, ironed, and reformed, to look good as new. Dried sturdy materials like pine cones and lotus pods last a long time, and artificial items basically are good for the next hundred years. By purchasing a plain wreath at the garden center or grocery store, beautiful results are possible, like the one below. Our vast displays of materials and mechanics like picks and wires are missing, making this process more difficult and much less fun. Nevertheless, we persist.
