Join us to create a beautiful Shimenawa wreath, a traditional Japanese decoration used to welcome good fortune and prosperity for the New Year. Shimenawa, crafted from sacred straw rope, symbolizes purification and protection, and is commonly displayed at home entrances.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll guide you in making a custom Shimenawa wreath adorned with preserved and dried flowers, which, with proper care, will last well beyond the holiday season. You can create a traditional look or customize the colors to match your home’s decor. After the New Year, you can remove the Shimenawa base and repurpose the arrangement for year-round decor as you wish.
Shimenawa and Mizuhiki cords are specially imported from Japan, ensuring an authentic experience. The Shimenawa wreath itself will measure approximately 9 inches/22cm in diameter, but the overall size will be larger once you add your floral arrangement, which will vary based on your design.
Please note that example photos are provided for inspiration; your finished wreath will be uniquely yours and may vary based on your chosen colors and arrangements. All materials are provided, and you’ll take home your handcrafted wreath at the end of the session. Reserve your spot soon—space is limited!
