The Balsam will naturally turn a fabulous shade of brown, the needles will not shed and you will have a "decorator"wreath which will be the envy of your friends. Not your average christmas wreath!  $35.00 per person- all materials included

Here are two friends who made their wreaths in 2009 and below I have a wreath after several years. Yes the same type of wreath and it doesn't shed.

Here is my wreath, made over 15 years ago from the same type of wreath.

This was a balsam wreath which I decorated with pine cones, some fall leaves for a natural look, and some hydrangea and as it dried it turned to this gorgeous shade.It has become a year round decoration. It is on the wall in the shop and everyone is amazed that it is real and ALL natural.
