Holiday GLOW

This Christmas, swathes of golden shades, a dusting of glittering metallics and a bounty of beautiful foliage come together as an enchanting and luminous backdrop for all the festivities

Made using a chicken wire base, this lovely mistletoe wreath is short-lived and will drop in a week to 10 days in the warmth of the house, so create close to the time you wish to use it.
