DIY Christmas Wreath

Don't you just love this chic Christmas wreath? I do! Reminds me of a peaceful Christmas, makes me want to light some candles and listen to some Micheal Buble Christmas...
Anyways! Ready for some good ol' DIY?

You'll Need:

• Simple twine wreath from any craft store - mine was $.99!
• Pearl ribbon from craft store
• Two favorite ornaments - these: Goodwill!
• Wire or twisty ties
• 1 ft. of thin ribbon
• 2-3 ft. of thick ribbon
•  Page from book (preferably one you don't read)
• Hot glue gun

 1. Cut your pearl ribbon the diameter of your wreath, then feed it through your ornament. This will be the longer ornament.

2. Tie the pearl ribbon at the very end.  This can be tricky. If you want, you can fasten it with the hot glue gun.

3. Take about 3-4 in. of wire and put on pearl wire. You could also use a twisty tie, just make sure it's dark so it's not noticeable.

4.  Feed wire through the wreath, twist at the top.  Make sure that it's snug and the wire doesn't move around much.

5.  Repeat steps 1-4 for the second ornament, but be sure to do have half the length of the diameter for the ribbon.

 

 6.  Loop the 1 ft. small ribbon through the top of the wreath and tie.  Then fasten at base with hot glue gun so it does not slide.

7. Then create paper roses. I simply followed this tutorial.  After it is finished, hot glue and inch of the pearl ribbon in a cluster in the center.

8. For the ribbon rose I used this tutorial.  Like the paper rose, hot glue pearl ribbon in the center again.

9.  Stick the flowers on the wreath with a hot glue gun.

And we're done!

With Love,
