A Cork florist’s DIY wreath making kit will totally get you in the mood for autumn
It’s the perfect time to release your inner Martha Stewart.
If you’re looking for a craft project to fill an autumn afternoon, one Cork florist has come up with just the thing.
The Flowersmith Studio is usually busy hosting in-person workshops at this time of year, but with Covid-19 restrictions putting the kibosh on all types of get-togethers, owner Kelly O’Sullivan has packaged up her popular class so you can enjoy it at home (and make something gorgeous for your front door while you’re at it).
Kelly’s Autumn Wreath Making Kit includes everything you need to make a beautiful autumn wreath; a vibrant mix of dried flowers and foliage, including oak leaves, eucalyptus, limonium, statice, barley and phalaris, a straw base, paddle wire and a length of jute to hang your wreath from.
You also get a link to a private online, step-by-step tutorial to show you how to put it all together like a pro (no experience necessary).

With most social events postponed for now, a wreath making session would be a fun way to catch up or celebrate a special occasion in the garden; light a pumpkin candle, pour yourself a pumpkin latte and get stuck in. Dried flowers last for ages so if you care for it properly, you can use your autumn wreath next year too.
“Why not invite a couple of your best bubble buds around and do it together over a coffee or glass of wine?” says Kelly.
“Kits are being dispatched from this Friday. €65 +€10 for local delivery, €12 to ship or you can arrange to collect from our studio in Cloghroe free of charge.”
Order yours by texting or calling 085 856 6051.
You can also pick up Kelly’s stunning Mini Bundles at Menloe Stores and Cinnamon Cottage (€22 each).
