Making your own holiday wreath is a fun and money-saving activity for your family. Homemade wreaths or “wreath kits” also make great gifts and can even be a source of supplemental income. In this workshop you’ll learn how to make your own wreath or wreath kit, get some ideas for small-scale marketing of special forest products, and enjoy a potluck dinner and fellowship with other forest owners in a historic building. We’ll also have forest-themed crafts and cookie decorating for the kids (or kids at heart!).

What’s included

• A large ring for a wreath
• A small ring and a box for a wreath kit
• Wire and tools
• Instruction and demonstration
• Children’s activities
• Hot Cider (and coffee)

What to Bring

• Evergreen boughs from your forests (redcedar, Douglas-fir, true fir, pine, hemlock)
• Cones (pine works best, but Douglas-fir can also work)
• A potluck dish to share
