    Greens at my garden center cost $12 for a bundle of 4 branches. Prices def have skyrocketed over the years and it’s too expensive to buy for diy wreaths and for planters . It’s cheaper to buy a misshapen Xmas tree and chop off the branches . And when I went to a tree farm to find one , they gave me all their discarded tree clippings !!

    • @ritasicari7518
      @ritasicari7518 7 місяців тому +7

      I used to get all my greens for free by asking for the tree clippings-not any more.

    • @summergirl15
      @summergirl15 7 місяців тому +15

      Yes! Same here in VA. $10-$12 a bundle. I too drive all around to garden ctrs and gather free clippings from Christmas trees that were purchased but I still have to buy other greens ($!) My sweet hairdresser does let me cut some other evergreens from shop property, which is so nice... tomshow appreciation, I always make her a winter pot for her shop's entrance. Then... there's the $20/ bottle of wilt proof that you need to spray all my finished projects. It's a lot work but so rewarding as I make winter pots, garlands for the elderly, family & neighbors.

      Bunches of greens are $20-$30 here in Alberta! I bought a 4-5 ft tree for $26 to clip branches

    I’ve watched about a dozen wreath-making videos and, while each video basically showed the same process, Laura, your instructions are the most simple, straightforward, easy to follow ones by far! You’re a natural teacher. 🎄
    P.S. Love the inclusion of family moments at the end. ❤️

I also love your house, I'm praying that God will provide for me and my 2 girls a new house as we are facing eviction. God Bless Ms. Laura. I love your family.

    Hi, Laura. I made my very first wreath & garland this year after watching you do so many. Fresh pine, cypress, and fir - I even added some pinecones from my own garden. They turned out really beautiful & I get a lot of compliments on them. Thank you for this detailed tutorial & refresher. I was confident I could do it myself following your advice. At 57 years old, I am grateful to watch you do amazing things & have success myself. Thank you.

    I always make my own wreaths, mostly boxwood with green sometimes mixed in. Its my thing. This year I made a wreath on a 24 inch wreath form for our winners of our Holiday House raffle, was the biggest wreath I have ever made, and was STUNNING. I have been to wreath making classes and have given them for family and friends. Its such fun, and no matter the skill level there is always a masterpiece at the end. Happy family memories made that night!

    I really like how each of the 3 types of evergreen adds to the whole, with their different texture. I think you are right not to decorate this with anything else....it does not need it! Having said that, when you chose to add the spruce cones to the garland, it was also just letting nature be as beautiful as it is. You can't go wrong when you do that.

    On a slightly different note my sister-in-law and I still travel to our local cemeteries and put greens out. The prices of wreaths and blanket wreaths have gotten so high it is impractical to purchase. Your table center piece could easily be made in place of one and secured down with wire hangers that we get from the dry cleaners and cut in U shapes. Thank you for your sharing your given talent and now to get started, I have 11 to make just for me. Again, thank you so much for sharing. 🥰🙏🎄❄️

    Oh no, your poor mum is such a nice person, I can't imagine how she felt watching her hard work, wreath getting thrown to the wall.. I am sure we get the point that the wreath or whatever needs to hold together very strongly, without throwing it. Thank You Laura you are a way better teacher for all of us without being like that person was ❤. Greetings, Judit
