Each student will use strips of twigs placed around a can with the wispy tops of the twigs flaring out with added flowers. We will triple tie jute around the center and make into a bow. This vase can be used for years, housing all of your seasonal cut flowers. Expect raves! Bring pruners, newspaper and a glue gun.

     The instructor will provide you with a sugar coated ice cream cone that has been glossed with silver and a bow "handle". We will fill the cone with delicate dried garden flowers and preserved grasses. This decoration is an east coast turn of the century replica that was often given as a token of friendship. Bring newspaper, scissors and a glue gun.

     Bring a 2 foot miniature faux Christmas tree to class and we will decorate the tree with baby's breath, rose buds, dainty statice, misty, globe amaranth, lavender, delicate peppergrass, yarrow, tansy buds, rice flowers, sugarbush, bows and a beautiful botanical topping. Delightfully fragrant for home or a gift. Bring scissors, newspaper and a glue gun.

     You will learn how to decorate packages like an upscale designer! Come relax and enjoy learning how to decorate packages of all sizes, shapes and for all occasions and seasons. You will learn how to use dried roses, leaves, flowers, twigs, ferns, moss, pomegranates, items found quickly in your home and MANY other preserved perennials. Expect raves when presenting these beautifully wrapped gifts to your friends and loved ones. Bring newspaper, scissors, a glue gun and two gifts you would like wrapped (or two empty boxes).

     You will be given a delightful burgundy birdhouse with the word "longevity" inscribed in Chinese on the front. We will decorate with delicate moss, broom bloom, bleached millet, misty, bee balm, dainty ferns, fairy gyp and a faux birdie. Bring newspaper, scissors and a glue gun.

     You will be given a 5" x 7" frame and we will decorate with delicate moss, pink and red rose buds, colourful perennials, deep green ferns, many tiny preserved leaves, Australian daisies, statice, star anise, miniature pods, tansy and other dried botanicals. You can give this as a beautiful gift or keep as a family treasure for years. Bring newspaper, scissors and a glue gun.
