Making and selling wreaths can be a fun project and a good way for almost any group to make money, but you'll need to plan carefully to make sure everything goes smoothly. Your group of people who get together once a week may be all for making wreaths, but as with any group project, different people will have different levels of skill. Some members may already be very good at making wreaths, while others may be just starting out.

Making and selling wreaths can be a fun project and a good way for almost any group to make money, but you'll need to plan carefully to make sure everything goes smoothly. Your group of people who get together once a week may be all for making wreaths, but as with any group project, different people will have different levels of skill. Some members may already be very good at making wreaths, while others may be just starting out.
You'll also need to decide if all the wreaths will be the same or if they will all be different. If you want to make five different kinds of wreaths, you will need to split your group into five different groups. You will also need a leader or leaders for each group. These should be people who know how to make the wreaths their group will make and are willing and able to teach others.
It's also a good idea to print out descriptions and instructions for each type of wreath. This will help people who have never made wreaths before get a general idea of what they need to do.
To buy or get materials, you will also need a committee. There could be more than one. You might want one group to collect natural materials while the other group buys the decorations that will go on the wreaths.
If you're not going to sell the wreaths the same day you make them, you'll need to know how to store them correctly and take care of them.
You might also want to take orders for wreaths before you make them, so you can be sure that each wreath you make has a customer waiting for it. This means that before your craft meeting, you will need a sales committee to go out and take orders for wreaths.
If you plan to sell your wreaths at a certain time and place, you will need to let people know. If you don't already have a place to sell, you will need to set one up. You will also need to have people make posters and pass them out. You will also need people to set up the wreaths on the day of the sale and keep the sales tables clean.
Any group can have fun and make money with this project if they plan it well. Planning is the key, and hopefully this will be a fun, productive, and money-making project for your group that you can do again in the future.
