I think this was a good course. Instructions were clear. Bouquet turned out well. I think most people would be able to create this bouquet. One thing, this activity stresses the hands, especially if you aren’t used to it or have arthritis. Take breaks when you need to. I wouldn’t recommend trying to do this bouquet in one go if you haven’t done it before.
