THIS STEP IS REPEATED UNTIL THE ARRANGEMENT IS COMPLETED TO THE SATISFACTION OF THE EMPLOYER. THE WORKER THEN PLACES THE COMPLETED ARRANGEMENTS ONTO A WORKER-SPECIFIC TABLE, FROM WHICH THEY ARE EXAMINED FOR QUALITY AND COUNTED.
GARLANDS: THE GARLAND-MAKING PROCESS IS ASSISTED BY A MACHINE. THE WORKER BEGINS THE PROCESS BY SELECTING A FEW PIECES OF PRE-CUT FIR
BOUGHS AND CEDAR AND PLACES THEM ONTO A WIRE WHICH IS THEN WRAPPED BY A SMALLER GAUGE WIRE BY A MACHINE. THIS STEP IS REPEATED UNTIL THE
SPECIFIED LENGTH OF GARLAND IS COMPLETED. ONCE THE WORKER HAS COMPLETED THE SPECIFIED LENGTH OF GARLAND, IT IS PLACED ON THE FLOOR WHERE IT IS EXAMINED FOR QUALITY AND COUNTED.
WREATHS: THE WREATH-MAKING PROCESS IS TOTALLY BY HAND; NO MACHINERY IS INVOLVED. THE WORKER BEGINS THE PROCESS BY SELECTING A FEW PIECES OF
THE PRE-CUT FIR BOUGHS AND PLACES THEM ON A WIRE RING. THE WIRE RINGS DIFFER IN CIRCUMFERENCE. THE WORKER THEN WRAPS THE SELECTED BOUGHS TO
