DIY Project ~ Create a Woodland-Inspired Wreath or Centerpiece for the Holidays on the Cheap!

Use festive greens and spray-painted seed pods to create a gorgeous … and inexpensive … wreath or centerpiece for the holidays!
The latest DCH workshop was a huge success! As we entered, rack after rack of every green you can imagine and a huge display of woodland and garden accents greeted us. Christmas music and refreshments quickly put everyone in the holiday spirit, not to mention the lovely aroma of all those fresh greens. DCH staff and volunteers had trimmed from the grounds, their friends’ yards and their own gardens to provide us with an amazing array of choices to make a centerpiece or wreath.
Getting right down to business, Mary Szewczyk demonstrated the basics of creating a centerpiece and Pat Boyd gave instructions on wreath making. Then we were all turned loose to gather materials that appealed to us and get started under the helpful guidance of several DCH staff , Mary and Pat. What a fun evening it was, with each participant creating a custom holiday decoration to take home.

All you need to make a wreath ~ a wreath form, pins and lots of interesting greens and woodland accents … and maybe a bit of spray-paint to liven up your creation.
