Our Christmas decorations are up and Christmas music is taking over our house!
My Christmas Wreath is on the door and just in case you missed it last year…
… here is the tutorial!
Take a plain grapevine wreath:
Start tying ribbons into knots onto the wreath.
Then add more sizes and lengths (Look familiar? I used the left over ribbon from my Christmas Ribbon Garland!) until you get the “look” you want!
For the “P”, I got a plain wooden letter from Hobby Lobby and spray painted it red. It was a little plain for me, so I decided to get some lime green paint and put polka dots on it!
The eraser of a pencil makes the perfect dots (a little trick I have used for years!)!
…keep “dotting!”
Then I decided it needed a little “sparkle,” so I put green glitter onto the “P!” (make sure your “dot” paint is still wet so the glitter will stick!)
And then…
A cute “P” for my Christmas Wreath!
It got late and I got tired so I don’t have picture for the next part, but I think you can handle it! I added red and green ornaments on the wreath to fill in the gaps that the ribbon didn’t quite cover. I tied the ornaments into the wreath and then put a tiny dot of hot glue where the ornament touched the wreath to hold it into place. This is what it ended up looking like:
Yay!
That was easy, right?!
Now hang that super cute Christmas Wreath on your door!
Merry Christmas!
