From the Author

WREATHS FOR EVERY SEASON are as fresh and fun as the seasons that inspire them! The projects in this book are true originals--romantic, cheerful, and in stylish keeping with today’s popular cottage, shabby chic and "simple elegance" decorating styles.

You’ll learn how to make 20 one-of-a-kind creations--from the sumptuous Spring Medley, to the fun and folksy Americana Star, to a sweet-smelling fresh herb wreath. There’s a wreath for every major holiday--from the whimsical Easter Basket Wreath, to the spectacular Cornucopia Dessert Wreath, to the sweet and simple Winter Berry Wreath. In addition to more traditional fare, the book includes several novel, "off-the-wall" projects that recreate the wreath as a romantic chandelier, a keepsake scrapbook, a sparkling candle ring and more.

Friendly instruction and lots of clear, step-by-step photos help even first-time wreathmakers create breathtaking decorations, heartfelt gifts, and homemade versions of wreaths featured in stores or catalogs (only for a lot less money!). Complete with difficulty-ratings and creative variations for every project, this book covers all the basic techniques you need for many joyful seasons of wreathmaking!
