Festive Wreaths

Getting ready for the exciting session with Rainbow Jane on Nov 9th - 'Creative Wreath Making'!

I've created a couple of examples of wreaths you can create, beyond the classic Christmas Wreaths with greenery, fir-cones, and ribbons.

Check out these two fabulous examples - a vibrant pom-pom wreath and a dazzling metal and crystal wreath...

Pom Pom Wreath

Get ready to unleash your creativity with this vibrant wreath like this! I started by crafting a collection of pom-poms in every color of the rainbow and a variety of sizes. The wreath is built on a wooden circle, and the pom-poms are threaded onto a string, which is then wrapped around the base. This means you can easily transform the pom-poms into a garland late. Sparkling tinsel pipe cleaners secure the small baubles and twinkling lights in place. The wooden "Merry Christmas" sign is painted, adorned with sequins, and attached using tinsel pipe cleaners, making it removable so you can repurpose the wreath as a playful wall decoration for any occasion. You can easily switch up the look by experimenting with different color schemes, pom-pom sizes, or adding other fun elements. Let your imagination run wild!

Metal and Crystal Wreath

This wreath is crafted from old drink cans and crystal beads. I cut open and flatten the aluminum tins, then shape them into leaves. I use a Sizzix die-cutting machine and leaf dies, but you can totally cut them by hand too. I added some white metallic glossy acrylic paint and a bit of iridescent glitter to the leaves. The leaves are wired together in small bunches, usually with 3 leaves and a cluster of 3 crystals each. Then, I twisted the wire around a metal hoop. Once I was happy with how it looked, I wrapped the wire work with a silver ribbon to keep everything secure and snug. A thin wire was attached to the crystal star and wrapped to make a loop for hanging.

In the images below, you can see the back side of the wreath. I actually like the look that shows it's made from tin cans, but I decided to use the metal side.
