Instructions:
To create your pinecone Christmas wreath. The first thing you are going to do is cover your wire wreath form.
Take a strip of fabric about six inches wide and long enough to wrap around your entire wreath form.
Wrap the fabric continuing all the way around. Slightly overlapping the fabric.
Once completely covered snip off the fabric and hot glue it to the back of the wire wreath form.
As a result, covering the wire wreath form with fabric. Will help you to attach your pinecones. Pick a color of fabric that coordinates with the colors you are choosing to use.
Secondly, count out how many pinecones are needed to go around your wreath form. Spray paint your pinecones the color of your choosing.
I used River Mist from Beautitone HomeHard in Canada. https://www.homehardware.ca/en/340g-interiorexterior-river-mist-satin-solvent-spray-paint/p/1720195?page=search-results%20page
Once your pinecones are dry hot glue them to your wire wreath form.
Thirdly, take your ribbon and create a bow.
Steps to Create Bow
Please check out the video below to teach you how to create the Olivia Bow used on this project.
Furthermore, I used wire cutters to cut off gemstones. Found in the flower section at the Dollarstore. Using a hot glue gun to attach to the center of the bow.
Attach your bow to your wreath form as described in the video.
In conclusion, take your DollarStore sign and pop off the metal sign.
Paint the sign with chalk paint the color of your choice.
Once your sign has a few layers of paint.
Hot glue the sign to the back of the wreath form and the metal wording in the center of the backdrop.
Merry Christmas!
I hope you enjoy your new wreath.
