HOLIDAY Or SEASONAL
WREATH INSTRUCTIONS From Front-Porch-Ideas-And-More.com
Here’s what your need:
Hot glue gun and glue sticks
Wide ribbon
A foam ring (grapevines rings will work also)
Christmas Ball Ornaments—different sizes and colors of your choice! (need enough to thoroughly cover the foam ring)
To modify for different seasons or holidays, just change the color of the balls and ribbon.
Instructions:
1. I like to have a workspace large enough to keep the supplies in easy reach and an area for using the glue gun. I have a sheet of 1/4” plywood that I place on top of a
table. That way, I don’t have to worry about hot glue ruining the table surface.
2. Start by cutting a length of ribbon to cover the foam ring. (I like to use white ribbon but depending on the effect you want, you can choose any color. If done correctly, you won’t really see the ribbon so using old scraps may work well also).
3. Wrap the foam ring and secure the ribbon with hot glue.

4. Strategically place a few of the larger ornaments on the ring. Secure with hot glue.
5. Now, start filling in the spaces.
Tip: With the foam wreath laying flat on the table, glue ornaments around the bottom edge.
This will allow you to hang the wreath flat against a door or wall and hide the wreath’s back edge.

6. Continue gluing ornaments around the ring, using the smaller ones to fill in the open spaces.
7. Once completed, you can hang an ornament in the middle, add bows, or greens to the wreath.
