INSTRUCTIONS

Pom Pom Wreath

Step 1 - Lay out all your materials and make sure you have a clean work space to work on.

Step 2 - Start by taking one of the Pom Pom garlands and tying the end of it to the wire wreath. Then wrap the garland around the wreath, spreading the Pom Poms evenly as you go. The Pom Poms can easily be slide along the garland to ensure they are on the top side of the wreath only and not the back.

Step 3 - Now take the other coloured garland and repeat step 2, filling in the gaps.

Step 4 - Continue alternating between the coloured garlands until the wreath is looking full and you are happy with the overall look!

Step 5 - To finish, tie a piece of ribbon or cord on the back of the wreath to hang from.


Pinecone Wreath

Step 1 - Lay out all your materials and make sure you have a clean work space to work on.

Step 2 - Start by fluffing out the wreath to make it look nice and full.

Step 3 - Then using a small amount of white paint on your paint brush, lightly brush over each wreath sprig creating a snow look effect. Continue doing this the whole way around until the whole wreath has white tips. This doesn't have to be perfect, in fact it will look more realistic if each sprig is slightly different.

Step 4 - While the paint on the wreath is drying, use scissors to cut off the loops on each pinecone.

Step 5 - Once the paint is dry, begin positioning the pine cones throughout the wreath. When you are happy with a layout use the hot glue gun to secure each pine cone in place!

Step 6 - To finish, tie a piece of ribbon or cord on the back of the wreath to hang from.
