Included Meals
- Dinner
Introducing the delights of working 3D flowers, we begin our wreath with a simple 8-petal flower to familiarise ourselves with working a continuous spiral, into back and/or front loops, and finishing with French knots.
We will then progress onto large daisies and learn how to adapt the middle to create a flatter or rounder centre. This will help you gain confidence to branch out and experiment with making your own versions.

- Workshops
Working from all that we learned yesterday, we begin with double headed flowers working two rounds for the petals and play with different stitches to make larger and smaller petals.
We then continue with little rose buds, leaves and little decorative sprigs before assembling our flowers onto the wreath.
