Village Voice December 2020/January 2021Instructions for Makinga WreathThe aim of our wreath making is to brighten updoorways and also to not spend a fortune sothe challenge is to make it from recycledmaterials or home grown greenery.To make a rag wreath, you will need a wire“frame” or an old coat hanger, a pair of scissors,lots of material (they reckon around 2.5m)altogether and a ruler. Please don’t buy an“oasis” type wreath frame – they are made ofplastic and we are all trying to reduce our useof plastic. Hobbycraft sell wire frames as domany online stores.For a rag wreath you need to cut your materialinto 22cm strips, 3-4cm wide. Tie a piece ofribbon or strong cotton to the wreath so youcan hang it up (or you can use the hook on thewire framed coat hanger). If using a coathanger, bend it into an appropriate shape –hearts look good as well as circles.Now start tying. You make half a knot ie leftover right and under and pull tight. Keeprepeating and squash the knots up really closeto get a dense effect. For a picture of a ragwreath – go to mumssavvysavings.com. Thereare numerous examples and tutorials on theinternet. https://mucknbrass.com/shop/Alternatives would be to cover the ring inpaper or indeed make one out of card and stickcoloured paper to it but bear in mind it willneed to be somewhere dry if it’s not to dissolveinto a soggy mess!You could try attaching painted plastic (oldplastic bottles for example, painted in acrylicpaint) or you could make one from gardengreenery. To do this, secure a large potatocovered in tin foil to the frame with wire andthen stick the greenery into the spud throughthe foil. There should be enough moisture inthe spud to keep it fresh.Use your imagination!You may decide to go one step further andincorporate a string of fairy lights to yourwreath.We look forward to seeing the creative andinnovative wreaths on display around thevillages!Village Voice Treasure HuntWelcome to the Village Voice TreasureHunt – there are no prizes, but wehope you find it enjoyable...Once at the start, all the clues in this treasurehunt can be seen from the pavement.
