Saturday, November 22 I’m hosting my very first ornament-making Botanical Decoupage workshop at @noble.dtsj - we’ll be making one-of-a-kind gifts and take home treasures. If you’re the kind of person that likes a challenge, go with the roundies… if you like an easy win, pick a flatter shape :) 🔗 in bio#floral #DIY #holidayornament #botanical #decoupage #mauves #DTSJ #pressedflowers by @mauv.es
