Learn how to give a warm welcome at your door by making and hanging these lovely wreaths. Paula Philips' craft book offers the reader a beginner-friendly, step-by-step guide on how to make 19 different fresh, colorful, welcoming door wreaths. A wreath on your front door is a beautiful sign of welcome for your visitors. But, you need not limit your use of wreaths to the Christmas season. There are wreath designs that are appropriate for every holiday and season. Paula Philips will show you how to create these beauties. She will also show you how to make smaller wreaths with fruit and flowers which can be placed on a surface near the wreath, turning them into beautiful centerpieces for your dining table or decorations for your fireplace mantle. You can make a wonderful and wispy grapevine wreath featuring rust and gold flowers, appropriate for every season or a festive and fruity small wreath with fruit spilling out, perfect for the Thanksgiving dinner table. Welcome Wreaths includes photos of each design, step-by-step instructions for wiring and weaving the wreaths, and suggestions for how to make and attach decorations. As the seasons and holidays change, you'll want to change up your wreath. You might not have room to store a dozen wreaths for the year. So, the book shows you quick and easy ways to reuse your basic woven wreath. All you need to do is remove bows, flowers, and other decorations. You then simply replace them with fresh ones. Before you begin, it will simplify your work to gather all supplies in one spot. The book lists details for each design, such as size, colors of silk flowers, stems, leaves, sprays, and bows, and other design elements. Consider making two wreaths, one smaller than the other, and then layering them. The resulting depth of design is pleasing to the eye. Purchase or make a flower garland and lay it on top of the wreath for a fresh spring look. Make your own bows out of burlap, cotton, silk, or ribbon with your choice of colors and patterns. Plastic fruits incorporated into the design help make perfect Thanksgiving wreaths. A tiny bird's nest with eggs will give the perfect touch for a spring wreath. You can buy plastic ones or make them yourself. Wreaths make beautiful gifts. Your friends and relatives will appreciate them and use them to greet people at their front door for years to come. As you go through Paula's book, working on her wreath designs, you will become a master of this fascinating art. You'll gain confidence, knowing you can create any wreath of your design for any occasion.
