Reviews

[Miss Kelly]

I really enjoyed paging through this book to get ideas. The wreathes I liked and were interested in had easy to follow directions and pictures. They showed you how to make the wreath base as well out of straw, twigs, ribbon and moss. It just seemed messy. On page 20 and 21 there are wreaths using sage, mint and other herbs. Again seems interesting, but messy and how wellwould it really hold up and withstand display? Might give it a try. Really loved the wreath on page 22 where they use living plants/succulents.
