Keepsake Winter Centerpiece Begins with Winter Evergreens

On Tuesday, December 1st, at 6:00 p.m. the LaSalle Public Library will virtually host Natalie Martin, University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener volunteer, when she presents, “Keepsake Winter Centerpiece Begins with Winter Evergreens.”

Presented in a tutorial format, Natalie Martin, will demonstrate the creative process of crafting a winter centerpiece for the home, utilizing common items or materials, such as pine cones, fabric, holiday ornaments, evergreens (faux or live) and keepsakes, like children’s crafts or mementos. The step-by-step program will share the process of creating the basic structure and will provide ideas for making the centerpiece personal. A materials list will be provided. Craft along with Natalie during the live program and ask questions live or use the recording for reference!
