Christmas Wreath Workshop

This Flower Workshop is perfect for beginners or anyone working in a Florist Shop. You will gain a great amount of knowledge, techniques, ideas, and you will be greatly rewarded with ability and know-how.
Using fresh or Native flowers in our Gift Designs – you will have a choice of containers which may be a Glass Vase, Ceramic pot, basket or something else.

The Christmas Door Wreath is usually done in green, white, silver or gold sprayed foliage, dried gum nuts, pinecones, and other baby dried nuts.
A wide Christmas bow to finish off at the top or base.
Dried flowers like paper daisies, birthday candle banksias and other small banksias, may be added to give a different look.
In this Christmas Flower Workshop, it is best to use a hot glue gun and have plenty of glue sticks on hand; or use a craft glue providing it is strong.
Warning: Gloves should be used to protect you from burning yourself with the hot glue.
Florist Wires – size 22 and 24 gauge are the best to keep handy.
Your designs may be taken home after class and enjoyed over the Festive season.

This is a very relaxed and enjoyable Flower Workshop.
