About the final project for: Wreath Creation with Dried Flowers

Wreath Creation with Dried Flowers

“I welcome you to the "Final Project" section! After all the efforts you made during the course, it is time to share your result with the world. In order to show you all the steps of your creative process, I will show you how to structure your final project. First, choose the dried flowers and natural materials you want to include in your wreath. Arrange the elements on a shelf, observe them and try to make the most of them by creating the garland that suits them. Explain the choice of colors and materials, tell your idea!

With the type of branch you have chosen, start weaving or, rather, garlanding. Always follow the same direction starting from the circumference you want. Continue to weave the branches until you have reached the thickness and strength necessary to form the base of the wreath.
Compose the individual bunches that will make up the garland and tie the string to the structure, following the right direction.
Create a base for the floral knot and insert the larger flowers so that the heads come out perpendicular to the bunches.
Keep adding all the flowers that inspire you the most and finish your wreath. Show off your complete creation!
If you have any dried flowers left over, have fun composing original buttons and greeting cards! Share these little compositions too.
I can't wait to admire your finished wreath and spark constructive conversations. So, don't forget to leave feedback to other people who have taken the course. If you like, you can share your work on Instagram using the hashstag #RobertaSantilliDomestika . I will try to be as present as possible in the forum to be able to give you some advice and get to know us better. Soon! ”

“Final project We are at the end of this Domestika course. I want to thank you for taking the classes and doing this course with me. Now your time has come. Start weaving, or even better, start wreathing. As with all crafts, technique is not a goal, but a tool. That's why I suggest you don't start from the wreath you want to get, but from the choice of flowers. I fall in love with them every time, I arrange them on the counter, I observe them and try to enhance them by creating the most suitable wreath. For the composition of the wreath, what I want to convey to you, besides technique, is re...”

Flower Artisan

Roberta Santilli is an artist who works primarily with flowers. She was born in Bergamo where she currently lives and works, and it was her father from whom she inherited her passion for nature, and above all, plants. After receiving a degree in Building Engineering and Architecture, she started work as an interior designer specializing in the design of custom furniture. In 2016, she decided to take a basic course on floristry and, later that same year, she opened her own florists. Later, she started her Instagram account in order to share her colorful compositions with her followers.

Thanks to this virtual display window she began to receive more and more orders as well as commissions for events and weddings. From this moment on, she has dedicated herself to the creation of pieces, most of them wreaths, using dried flowers. In 2018, she transferred 100% of her business online and has been working from her home studio since 2019.

She currently makes compositions for events and wedding decorations for with a very clear style and message, having moved completely away from the use of fresh cut flowers to specializing in ethical and environmentally responsible projects using only dried flowers as well as seasonal fruit and vegetables.
