A floral crown can be used for many an occastion and once you know the basics of making a wreath you can adorn your door at any time during the year!

Using sustainable techniques and materials, this workshop will provide you with the key skills you will need to create a floral crown and create a willow wreath base and decorate it with spring florals.
