Have you ever wanted to learn how to properly construct a wreath?

Seasonal and holiday wreaths can be exquisite of Costco overwrought nightmares, and having the know how to make a beautiful decorative centerpiece or hanging wreath is a life skill that will serve you well and save loads of money.

The set of the Home and Family Show (Airing on the Hallmark Channel) is where we have enjoyed watching decorating tips on evergreen wreaths and table decor with Mr. Gaffney. Founder of 8 flower design schools across the United States, Michael showed hosts Cristina Ferrare and Mark Steines how to create a beautiful wreath to hang on the door of the Home and Family House located at Universal Studios, Hollywood. “These designs can be done by anyone with just a little instruction on using the pin cushion method,” Michael said, while demonstrating the designs to the Hosts.
