Making wreaths for holidays are so easy and super cute. I change mine with every season! This is the one I made for this fall and you can do it too. Just follow these easy steps!
All the supplies you need can be found at any crafting store (I go to Hobby Lobby)
Things you need:
1. Medium sized twig wreath (~ $4)
2. Fake flowers in fall colors/fake feathers (if you want!) (~$8-12)
3. Hot glue gun and glue gun sticks
4. Ribbon (I used a light gold)
5. 3M Command hook (for hanging the wreath on to your door)
6. Burlap or ribbon for the bow (~$5 or less)
How to make it:
1. Pull of the fake flowers off their stems and place on the wreath how you'd like them arranged
2. Make sure your glue gun is warm!
3. Glue each flower on the wreath as desired
4. Cut the hanging ribbon at a length of about 3 to 4 feet. Fold ribbon in half and tie around the top of the wreath with even lengths making a large loop for hanging.
5. Tie a bow and glue it to the top of the wreath. To make a perfect, easy bow like the one above, cut a long strip of burlap (about 3-4 inches wide and 5 feet long). Hold one end in your hand and make a loop about 4 inches long to one side, then to the other side and keep switching loops to each side until you have 3 loops on each side. Wrap the remaining fabric from the end of the last loops around the middle of the loops where your hand should be. Loop it around about 2 times, cut excess and glue the end of the fabric at the back of your center wrap. Fluff out the side loops and you're good to go!
Enjoy!
Here's a picture of my spring wreath! You can paint wooden numbers and glue them on for your address. Such a cute touch!
