Festive Wreath Making

Yiana Ridley-Faux

Was a lovely class. Both ladies were friendly, helpful and fun and I ended up with a beautiful wreath which impressed everyone who saw it. I would definitely recommend the class - with thanks

Loved this experience! Had previously made a Christmas wreath with Hayley  in 2020 via Zoom, and loved it, so great to be doing it in person in the very festive & picturesque surroundings of Leadenhall Market. Hayley goes at a good pace, and no-one was too distracted by mince pies to create absolutely gorgeous wreaths! It’s wonderful to make them from scratch, and the choice of decorations was both fun and classy. I should also mention that these wreaths LAST - it’s a month after the session and mine still looks fabulous on my balcony. In short, highly recommend Hayley and this experience to get you in the festive mood - perfect for a group!

Bought it for my 9 year old daughter. She was very enthusiastic setting up the Terrarium. The item was well  packed and arrived in good state. Video helped a lot in setting up . We all loved creating this Terrarium and its shining on our window table.
