Seasons Greetings Wreath

Posted by admin


Welcome Friends!
I'm sharing with you a wreath that was inspired by
the beautiful wreath by: 
Better Homes and Garden---Christmas From The Heart Book Volume 12 
(I'm re-posting this wreath from Nov. 2011)

This wreath may look familiar.
                                   (Last year, I showed you this wreath in early November).
           I've received many emails asking for a tutorial or information on how to make this wreath.

I've had this wreath on my Projects To Do List since last year.
I'm happy to say--mission accomplished.


My wreath doesn't look exactly like the one shown.
I changed mine a little bit. 
I attempted this project last weekend. 
It was fun to make and the weather was warm and beautiful.
I made it outside in my driveway, with the echo of birds singing in the trees.
It was with complete JOY to Create!
                                        


Let's get started:
I will show you how simple this wreath is to make.

I was lucky to find some of the materials at The Dollar Store.
The total cost of this wreath was around $16.00, but that does not include the wreath.
(I had the wreath on hand. )


Materials:
Bird Nest:  JoAnns
 Birds:  Dollar Tree
Transparent off white ribbon: Dollar Tree
Large Grapevine Wreath-optional spray paint off white

Ornaments approx 17-25:  Dollar Tree
Picks and baby breathe:  JoAnns (50% off)
glue gun and scissors

 Step One:
Break off baby breath and place in grapevine wreath as shown.
Glue with glue fun into place
 Step Two:
Place baby winter white garland bead into grapevine securing into place with glue gun or tucking the picks deep inside the grapevine.
Step Three:
Make bow with transparent ribbon, secure into place with glue gun
attach birds and birds nest below the ribbon ribbon bow on the right side.


Step Four:
place and glue approximately 16-17 small to medium sized ornaments around wreath.

Step Five:
Display your wreath and ENJOY!

A great wreath for indoors and outdoors.
I like this wreath because It is one that can be
displayed through the winter months, long in to 2013!
Seasons Greetings to you all!
Happy Thanksgiving!
I'm truly grateful for Family and Friends.
