Wreath Week Sunday 9- Saturday 15 December

Looking through the Metro and the Evening Standard, I was struck by the array of wreaths available at the moment.  Christmas wreaths are obviously in this year.  They do cost however, from £7.50 for a twig wreath from Tescos to a lovely felted ball creation from www.notonthehighstreet.com

But you can make your own!  There will be two opportunities to make an indoor and outdoor wreath during the week of Sunday 9-Saturday 15 December, which is now designated 'Wreath Week'.

Sunday 9 December 7.30 pm -9.30 pm at Hornsey Vale Community Centre, in the Small Hall where we'll have two hours to make an indoor wreath from recycled paper and card.  We will provide the cardboard, if you bring cards and magazines to cut up. The end result will be lovely.

If you want to bring  your own WIP (work in progress to the uninitiated), please do.  There are lots of ideas on the internet - - just google 'recycled wreath'.

Something to drink as an aid to creativity is always welcome.  There will be snacks to nibble - just email me know if you're coming so I know numbers: wasteladyN8@gmail.com

Friday 14 and Saturday 15 December 1.30 pm-3.30pm.  These two days are run by the Stationers Park Volunteer Group, which has been active every second Friday in the Park.  On Friday a winter pruning will produce lots of lovely twigs, which we will be turning into outdoor wreaths and then decorating with berries and foliage.  We will be there on Saturday as well.  

Wouldn't it be lovely if all the houses on Denton Road and Mayfield Road had wreaths made from cuttings from Stationers Park?  And all for nothing but a bit of time and creativity.

And finally, Robin from the IF cafe in Hornsey Library would love to exhibit our recycled wreaths, the week beginning Monday December.
