DIY: Wreath

2 Comments Edit



 What you will need:
  1. Wire wreath ring
  2. Package of 25 pipe cleaners
  3. 8 rolls of 6" thick burlap rolls (usually 12-15' long. I used 2 18" wide burlap rolls 15' long because it was cheaper.
  4. Accent ribbon or burlap. I used sparkly chevron wired ribbon.
  5. Scissors



First, cut the 25 pipe cleaners in half. 
Twist 5 of them in each small section of the wreath ring on different bars of the section.
Take the end of the burlap and bunch it up, twist one pipe cleaner around. 
Bunch the burlap up again and twist another pipe cleaner around it. Don't twist it all the way because you will need to use the twisted pipe cleaner to tie down the accent ribbon.
Keep bunching the burlap until you have done that 5 times in each section. 
Do this all the way around the ring.
Then, pull both ends of the burlap so that it lays flat: pull one side to the right and the other side to the left so that we can put the accent ribbon in the middle without the burlap being too tall.
Take your accent ribbon and use the first pipe cleaner to twist around the ribbon. Skip 2 burlap bunches and twist another pipe cleaner around the ribbon.
Do this all the way around.



Keep a little bit of space in between so that you have room for a bow! Tie down the bow with pipe cleaners. You can put any decorations in the wreath depending on the season, but I put a jute wrapped H in the middle of ours for Heyrend :)
Ta-Daaaaaaaaa!!!
Halloween wreath DIY:
What you will need:
  1. Foam wreath ring
  2. Scissors
  3. 3 orange rolls of tulle
  4. 2 black rolls of tulle
  5. BOO letters
  6. Black/ Orange paint with paint brush
  7. Over the door wreath hanger
This should cost about $25 to make




 First, cut strips of both black and orange, depending on how far you want them to stick out from your wreath will tell how long you want to cut them.
You will have to double the black mesh because it's too see through. Cut the long strips in half to double. 
You shouldn't have to double the orange, plus you will have to use more orange anyways because there is less on the orange roll than the black.
Start tying them around the ring. I did black, orange, black, orange all the way around.
I then painted my letters orange and covered them with black lace. You can decorate them however you'd like.
Glue black ribbon behind the letters and glue them around the ring.


Hang around your door and voila!
