Top Tip
When positioning feathers, play around with them first so they sit exactly where you want before securing them.
How to Make
- Stick 2 craft wreaths together.
- Draw 1cm in from inner circle and cut out.
- Using newspaper or old tissue, scrunch up into sausage shape and stick on wreath within the circle. This is to baulk out the wreath.
- Cut out 5, 100cm x 5cm strips of hessian. Starting from the back, stick down edge using the hot glue. Start wrapping the hessian strip tightly around the wreath overlapping edges. Always end and start a strip on the back of wreath, stuck down using hot glue. Wrap twice around whole wreath so you do not see tissue /newspaper.
- Place the wreath flat on a surface. Take 3 peacock feathers and one at a time tuck ends under a strip on right hand side. One should go upwards and 2 downwards. Ensure they are secure.
- Next wrap 10mm gold satin ribbon tightly but spaced out evenly all way around, securing feathers. Always start and finish at back of wreath, sticking ends using glue gun.
- To make the pine cone spruce apply a bead of hot glue along the stem of 1 pine branch and stick down onto hessian between the peacock feathers, with the brush end hanging over the outer edge, Do the same with 2 more pine branches. Stick next to the previous stem but with the brushes hanging over inner edge. Stick two pine cones over the stems with their bottom ends together.
- Cut a satin ribbon length of 30cms, fold in half and stick centrally at top on the back of wreath.
