Any wreath makers ....?
Options
Just curious if there are any wreath makers out there? I make wreaths for a variety of occasions (not as a business, more as a keen hobbyist, altho' I have been known to sell them) and have recently turned my eye to the glorious creations which are made in the US.
I decided to try and follow some of the online sites which run tutorials for deco mesh wreaths, however I'm finding it mission impossible to source the wonderful array of accessories and add ons which seem to be found so readily in the US. I've set my mind to making three deco mesh wreaths for easter, and have just had to pay out £34 in postage costs alone to have some bits & pieces shipped from the US. And that's without what may await me at customs if they decide to haul out my parcel and make me pay the import charges.
Anyone else make wreaths, wish they could find more to make them with in the UK?
Let's see your makes! (of all kinds ~ raggy, fabric, etc)

That's an idea!
I think we have to be more resourceful over here when it comes to accessories ~ I've found TK Maxx does some lovely little bits & pieces for Easter. Etsy are good, but paying postage always bumps up costs.Frodo: I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
