Christmas Wreath
Needed:
16″ styrofoam wreath
9 yards green Am-Twist paper ribbon
2 1/2 yards red Am-Twist paper ribbon
2 yards cream 8mm pearls
2 1/2 yards lace
Glue and glue gun
- Cut a piece of green paper ribbon 5 1/2 yards, untwist and wrap around entire styrofoam wreath.
- Cut four pieces of green paper 12″ long. Untwist and glue lace to one side (lengthwise).
- Do the same with the red paper, but only making three. Fold paper to form a fan. Glue a green fan near the top of the wreath. Next glue a red fan slightly overlapping the green one. Repeat with the remaining fans.
- Wrap the pearls around the wreath and secure with glue.
- Cut eight or ten pieces of both colors 8″ long and untwist all but one inch. Glue the open ends to the wreath as a background to the bow.
- Cut several pieces of each color about 10″ long. Fold each one in half and glue ends to wreath so it looks like a bow with several loops.
- If desired, add a few loops of lace in with the paper.
