Everyone knows that the traditional winter wreath is a lush green affair, packed with all the traditional winter plants; robust ivy intertwined with delicate eucalyptus, rich, spiky holly and swathes of headily scented spruce and pine, finished with tiny jewel coloured berries and dried pine cones. But if you’re not the green fingered type, or the natural look just isn’t your thing, don’t worry – we’ve got plenty of alternative festive wreath classes that will help you scratch that creative itch this festive season. From colour popping pom poms and intricate mosaics to fantastic felted floral affairs, there’s something to suit everyone this Christmas – and not a holly leaf in sight!

If real plants and flowers just aren’t your bag, swap the foliage for fuzzy yarn and learn how to make a Christmas wreath that’s right up your street with our arm knitted floral wreath class instead. With all the colour and vibrancy of real flowers, but none of the drooping petals or drying leaves, it’s the perfect solution if you’re looking for something that will last beyond twelfth night!

Keep it sustainable with a fabric festive wreath

Held in the heart of beautiful Edinburgh, this is a Christmas wreath class with a difference – there might not be any holly or ivy, but there’s still plenty of traditional festive fun to be had with sparkly, colourful fabrics, vibrant embellishments and of course, the classic Christmas tipples. With a glass of something tasty in hand, you’ll learn how to make a Christmas wreath from leftover fabrics and ribbons, and master the art of embellishing your creation with baubles, bells and buttons. The perfect Christmas activity for anyone trying to be more sustainable this winter, you’ll be able to save those fabric offcuts, frayed ribbons and even torn trousers from the bin and transform them into something fabulously festive for your wall or door. The best thing? Your DIY wreath will last forever, so you’ll be able to re-use it every Christmas – it doesn’t get much more eco-friendly than that!
No creative experience? Lacking in tools and equipment? No problem!
