Frequently Asked Questions About the Peace Wreath
-
What is the Peace Wreath, and what is it made of?
It's a peace sign formed from takip-asin wood and wrapped in sustainably harvested galtang vine, a natural climbing vine from the Philippines. It's $32 and measures about 17 inches in diameter, and the whole piece is natural material with no frame or filler.
-
Can the Peace Wreath be hung outside?
Yes, it is made for indoor or outdoor display. Natural vine weathers, though: in full sun and rain it will gradually silver, dry, and grow brittle at the ends, so a covered porch, a sheltered entry, or an interior wall will keep it looking new for far longer.
-
Is this a Christmas wreath or a year-round one?
Both. Left plain, it reads as a simple natural peace sign that works on a door, a wall, or above a mantel in any season. Add greenery, a bow, or a string of lights and it becomes a holiday wreath, then strip it back in January.
-
How do you hang and decorate it?
Hang it from a door hanger or a single nail or hook through the top of the vine wrap. At 17 inches it fits a standard front door without crowding the frame. The open weave holds picks, dried flowers, ribbon, and light strands easily, so you can tuck stems straight into the vine and swap them out seasonally without adhesive.
-
How do you care for a natural vine wreath?
Dust it gently or clear it with a burst of cool air. Do not wash or soak it, since water makes vine swell and then split as it dries again. Store it hanging or lying flat somewhere dry rather than stacked under heavier decorations, which will flatten the circle.
-
Who makes the Peace Wreath?
It is handmade by artisans with CCAP Fairtrade in the Philippines, a SERRV partner working with makers in economically disadvantaged urban and rural communities. Because each wreath is bent and wrapped by hand, size and vine texture differ slightly, and every purchase provides income that supports a path to self-sufficiency.
