I have always loved wreaths. I began making them about 10 years ago. I was selling on Etsy and some retail in 2 different stores. They were ok but I knew I needed to do better.  I joined a different group but there wasn’t enough training.

On my own, I couldn’t figure out how to make the lush, full, three-dimensional wreaths with professional looking bows, that I loved. I put my Etsy shop on vacation and was only selling a few in the stores.

Finally, I found Julie Siomacco at Wreath Making of the Month Club, and I knew that was where I needed to be. I took several months studying her videos and bows. I learned how to make so many different items - wreaths, swags, garlands, and container arrangements.

I started improving and my wreaths started selling better. After training for several months, I was asked to do a wedding arch. I could NEVER have done this without the training I received with Julie. Wouldn’t have had the confidence or the knowledge to do it. When the bride saw it she cried and said it was exactly what she wanted.

At Christmas, when I took my wreaths to the high-end local store I sell at, the owner looked at them and said “I can see these will sell for more.”  And sell they did. I was so busy with special orders, etc. and I was so happy!! 

It wasn't until I found Julie, and she formed this amazing group that I began to have hope that I too could make gorgeous wreaths. The desire was there; I just needed the step-by-step guidance that I found in this group! In the beginning, I would watch the whole tutorial and then I would gather my supplies. Next, I would watch the video again, but this time I would stop it after each step so that I could complete it as shown. This proved to be such a great way to build my confidence when building a wreath. I began to see the "recipe" behind the wreaths rather than the actual items being used. But not only did I find a great mentor, I found an incredible amount of support and friendship from others in the group as well. I truly am THANKFUL, GRATEFUL, BLESSED to be a part of this group!!! - Sue Stringer - Simply Elegant Wreaths by Sue

My name is Liliana Perez and I have been a member of both the WOTMC and Success Circle since December 2017. 

I had started wreath making for business purposes on my own in 2015 but only made traditional, evergreen Christmas wreaths.  When I finally decided to venture out I bought at least five books on wreath making to educate myself.  Then I came across Julie’s Metal Sign Valentine Wreath online.  I watched it over and over.  I didn’t understand how the books that were out there didn’t explain everything the way she did.  That led me to start buying her individual videos.  You can imagine how excited I was when I bought her ebook and was invited to her Facebook group.  

A few weeks later I realized that joining both her paid groups would be a good idea and it turned out to be a GREAT idea.

Being part of her groups has been nothing short of amazing. Although I am creative I have been told that I am too analytical.  The remedy for that was being part of Julie’s groups where she explains EVERYTHING step-by-step.  I don’t have to try to figure anything out on my own.  I don’t have to sit there and analyze how a wreath was made or how to get a business Pinterest account started. It's saved me a ton of time!

I have two little ones, and part-time corporate job but due to my husband’s crazy schedule I am usually flying solo during the week.  The pros of being part of the group is that I have been able to work and learn at my own pace.  I have been a bit slow business-wise because of my personal situation.  It seems like the times that I have been a bit down on myself Julie feels the need to remind us that we are all different and not to compare ourselves to others.  That reason is why the community she has built has been so successful.  Everyone is beyond kind and helpful to each other.  I have yet to meet anyone from the groups in person but I feel like I know so many of them. 

I highly recommend Julie’s groups to anyone who has a creative business and wants to go to the next level.  The information and support that you will receive are unlike any other and all you need is a computer to reach her.  She is a true gift to the industry and that is why she is my mentor.  I can’t wait for the day I am able to meet her in person. - Lilliana Perez, Event Craft Studio 

I started making wreaths in the fall of 2017 after being inspired by a FB Home Talk video. After one wreath, I was hooked. I watched tons of YouTube videos but felt like I was missing some key instruction. I came across Julie’s WOTMC on a FB live and felt an instant connection. I joined her group that day.

My 2018 New Year’s gift to myself was also joining her Success Circle Membership for business.

Julie is an excellent teacher but she is also an excellent person. I have learned not only how to make wreaths but how to start a business, how to persevere in hardship, and most of all how not to quit. She is a natural encourager and motivator.

This month marks my 2nd year as a wreath maker. - Marsha Leneveu

One day I was scrolling through FaceBook, and somehow Julie popped up on my feed. I was instantly amazed at her talent!. I have always been a crafty individual since my early teens, and wreath design was one craft I had not tried yet. Julie made it look so easy, and I thought that I could do this. It is because of Julie that I opened my online business Squeaky Willow Decor almost two years ago. The amazing designs she teaches is so inspiring, it gets the creative juices flowing, and overall just makes you want to create beautiful decor. - Denna Howell

I have been with WOTMC since December 2017. I've been away and back. Julie's style and principles are consistent while her methods change to bring the latest trend. I love the professionalism I always feel in any of her groups. Kind of a no-nonsense business approach while I still have fun and challenges learning my placement and color coordination. This approach suits my personality. I would recommend this group if you want to learn and improve and you are willing to put in the work. - Thelma Nicholls, ArmyGurlWreaths 

Joining Julie’s Wreath of the Month Club was one of the best decisions I made when I started my business over a year ago.   

Julie gives you the breakdown of the who, what, when, where and why to her projects.  I have visions in my mind of how I’d like my creations to turn out.  However, Julie with all her expertise and knowledge, helps me achieve my creative goal much easier, faster and more cost-efficient. 

She helps me figure order, arrangement, placement, combinations, and recipes for my wreaths and my centerpieces.  Her professionalism is outstanding and she earns much respect for it. 

As Julie with Southern Charm Wreaths continues to teach, I continue to learn from her.  I’m am a better designer because of her Wreath Of The Month Club. -Bonny Clayborn, Bonnys Crafty Boutique

I was always the person in town where you could get a pretty wreath for a "reasonable price".  (Might as well say I wasn't making any money because I didn't think my work was worth more).  I joined Wreath of the Month Club in order to up my game and find out once and for all if I was ever going to make any money on my wreaths.  After a couple of months and some super instruction from you, my wreath game has stepped up tremendously.   I"m a long way from your talent but I'm working that direction.  

Recently I was having a really down spell because I wasn't selling anything online or making much profit on what I was selling locally. I sat down one night during my prayers and I said God you know I love to do this,  but I can't keep going selling my wreaths at a price that doesn't make me any profit.  I said if this is a calling for me, please let me see some progress, if not, as much as it would break my heart, I will give it up.  Two days later, I decided to try my hand at making a door swag.  I made a 44" long Christmas door swag (my first) and was thrilled at how well it turned out.  I decided to "do it afraid" and price it at what I would be excited to sell it for and would be making a hefty profit.  Keep in mind I only had 8 Etsy sales in the past year.  I priced that swag at $225 and honestly felt like I was out of my mind for charging such a high price for my work but I felt like I didn't have anything to lose. I knew selling stuff cheap just made me miserable. I put that swag in my Etsy store and sold that swag in one week!  I also sold a wreath for $90 and another for $89 !   would have probably charged my friends $35 or so for them and not made any profit. 

I have already thanked God for his blessing and now I want to thank you!  Not just for teaching us HOW to make a great wreath, but teaching us THAT WE ARE WORTH IT!   Thank you again! - Connie Clayburn 

I finally learned how to make a bow from watching you and listening to your above-the-thumb/under-the-thumb explanations and was able to build off of your teachings to create my own style of bow. I appreciate that you took the time to teach us how to do it by hand versus using the Pro Bow or EZ bow. I get so much more satisfaction out of making a gorgeous hand-tied bow!! - Aime Samuel

I have always had an eye for wreaths but never knew the basics. I feel like I am learning on a whole new level!! You are amazing, Julie!! - Mindy Wolf

I have enjoyed the videos so much! I really liked all the Christmas tree tips! I want to get the cord that goes down the center for plugging in lights, and love the twinkling lights on the inside! Each video showed me I need to do more layers! Thank you to all of you! - ️Linda Morris
