French Beaded Christmas Wreath Lauren Harpster

A new exciting publication from designer Lauren Harpster takes on a large French Beaded holiday project. This project started as a challenge to make one piece each day for a whole year. While the book is formatted to help you take on the one-a-day challenge, you certainly don't need to make it that way. French Beading is an art that began sometime during the Renaissance. It combines beading, wire wrapping, and sculpture to make three-dimensional flowers. This title contains the following patterns: - Spoke Poinsettia- Pine Cone Spray- Fir Branches- Holly- Gold leaves- Berry Stems- Baby Eucalyptus- Amaryllis- Gigantic Bow. You will also learn how to assemble and finish a large wreath. The finished wreath is approximately 19 inches wide and will weigh about 9 pounds.
