Time to get a little festive — and a little giving! 🎄💚
While since I retired, I need to recoup material costs to keep Rainbow Jane sustainable - this project is focused on fund raising for Zarach - and of course, getting creative with friends!
Interested in crafting your own traditional Christmas wreath this year? 🎄 I’m hosting small group wreath-making sessions (up to 6 people) — available in the afternoon or evening — for £150 per group. All proceeds will be donated to Zarach, helping to provide a bed bundle for a local child in need of a bed.
I’ll supply the all wires, foliage, guidance and help, and a cup of tea (and biscuits, naturally!). Feel free to bring along mulled wine and mince pies for a festive flair.
We’ll be using natural foliage — firs, holly, ivy, and berries. You’re welcome to bring any evergreen foliage from your garden for a personal touch. You can also add extra glamour and glitter (note: this may incur an additional material cost).
It’s a wonderful way to celebrate the season, create something beautiful, and contribute to a good cause at the same time. 💚
Here are a couple of examples I've made this week...
I began by gathering some evergreen foliage from the garden, then set off on a walk, keeping an eye out along public hedgerows and parkland. Searching for foliage makes me look more carefully at the beauty of winter — the glossy holly, the twisting ivy, and the different tones of fir and pine in. You only need small cuttings, about 6-8 inches long, and as I attach them later in a clockwise direction, I find myself noticing how each piece naturally curves and grows.
Back at home, I sort the foliage into small sprigs — starting with the evergreens, then adding holly and any sprigs with berries. Each sprig is wrapped with wire and green florist’s tape. I made two wreaths: one on a 16-inch wire frame, and another on a smaller wooden one. (The larger the frame, the more sprigs you’ll need to prepare!)
When attaching the sprigs, I work clockwise, alternating the placement — one sprig towards the outer edge, the next towards the inner. It’s a lovely, mindful rhythm — choosing each piece by shape, adjusting the angle, and watching the wreath fill out and take form.
The smaller wreath is made entirely of greenery, but for the larger one I decided to add a few festive touches. Aldi currently have great bags of winter potpourri for £3.99, so I picked one up and brushed a little gold paint on some pieces before wiring them into the wreath. It think it adds sparkle without losing that natural, woodland feel.
Making traditional wreaths is such a joyful, grounding way to celebrate the season — and making them with friends is even more fun!
Beautifully done! Wreath-making for Zarach in the Rainbow Jane style shows creativity, heart, and true craftsmanship. The colors, care, and meaning behind each piece make this process incredibly inspiring and thoughtful. A lovely tribute and artistic touch Custom animated logo makers
What a heartwarming and creative initiative! Wreath-making for Zarach — the Rainbow Jane way beautifully blends festivity with generosity, showing how small acts of crafting can make a big impact. The colorful, joyful approach adds such a wholesome touch to the season, and it’s inspiring to see a community come together for a meaningful cause. Reading pieces like this often motivates people to document their own charitable journeys, and many even look into the average cost for a ghostwriter when turning those experiences into blogs or books. Truly a festive project with a purpose!
I loved reading about the festive spirit behind Zarach’s wreath-making! It reminded me how planning and preparation can make any task more manageable. Similarly, when I needed to pay someone to do my biology class, I found that structured support from The Online Class Help made complex assignments far easier to handle. Their approach helped me stay organized, understand difficult concepts, and complete tasks confidently while maintaining a balanced schedule.
Really enjoyed this post about wreath‑making it’s so refreshing to see craft and creativity brought to life. As a student balancing lots of deadlines at the moment, I’m reminded how small, steady efforts matter. There are times I think about using a service like write my assignment Edinburgh just to stay afloat. But reading something genuine like this helps me remember that diving into the hands‑on work, even when it’s tricky, builds more than just results.
