DIY Winter Wreath

   

Step 1:  Paint Wreath Frame

I attached the foam wreath base to the wire wreath frame using floral wire to add a bit more bulk for my DIY winter wreath. Next, because wire wreath frames typically come in green, I sprayed mine with Chiffon cream chalky paint and let dry.  

 

 

Step 2: Add Your Color Yarn

  When adding the chunky yarn, this can be done in two ways.

1. 1. Cut a long length of the yarn and wrap the wreath add a dot of hot glue to the back of the wreath. Hold to set and continue wrapping the wreath.

1. 1. Wrap the wreath with the yarn and pull the yarn ball through the center of the wreath form. This technique works best if you are using just a foam wreath base.

Add a dot of hot glue to the end of the yarn and add the yarn to the back of the wreath form. Hold to set. When wrapping the wreath with the ball of yarn, keep the yarn tight and close together. Cover the entire wreath form add a dot of hot glue to the end of your yarn and hold to set. For this chunky yarn wreath, I used less than 1/4 of a skein of yarn.  

 

Step 3: Add Bottle Brush Trees

  Before adding the bottle brush trees I used wire cutters to cut the wood bases from the bottom of the trees. Use your hot glue gun and add a large amount of hot glue to the wire base and the bottom of each tree. Place the tree onto the yarn and hold to set. Continue adding the bottle brush trees. With the ivory color yarn and the bottle brush trees, this wreath truly looks like a winter wonderland and is perfect for the wintery months.  

 

Step 4: Hang Your DIY Winter Wreath

  Choose a ribbon of your choice and hang your beautiful wreath to add a bit of charm to your winter decor. This wreath will also be perfect to use as a Christmas wreath or would make a perfect gift idea for next Christmas.
