Editorial Review:
Today wreaths celebrate holidays in all seasons and decorate every room of the house. Beautiful wreaths are expensive to buy but are surprisingly easy to make. With simple instructions, this craft book is sure to inspire readers to try their hands at making gorgeous and imaginative straw, grapevine, wire, and evergreen wreaths for any season of the year. Stunning photos of seventy-five different wreaths with a great assortment of adornment offer good reasons for a family outing in search of wildflowers, vines, and leaves. Other decorations can be found around the house, including ribbons, dried fruit, even the alphabet blocks the kids have outgrown. Kollath also provides practical advice on everything from the most helpful tools to different ways to dry flowers picked from the home garden.

I was very disappointed with this wreath book. It was nothing but an old book with a new cover. False advertising as I thought the wreath designs would resemble the cover. Not so. Just goes to show the old saying "Never judge a book by its cover is true!"
Rating:  - Beautiful, Creative, Inspiring Book!!!!!
I ordered this book looking for some new ideas for making different and exciting wreaths and this book gave me exactly what I was looking for in every aspect. Plus it gave me ideas to build on and my imagination ran wild with creativity. I love it when that happens. It is an excellent book and I'm very glad I purchased it. The author did an excellent job of presenting the material and the photography is beautiful. Thanks for a great book Kudos to you.
Sincerely,
