Today we made a few homemade wreaths, they turned out so cute, I just had to share them with you all. So we started out with just a few supplies. You will need a small or large depending on the size you want make, cross stitch ring.
As seen here:
And a bunch of cheap greenery or garland, I bought 5 rolls of greenery for 1$ per roll at Dollar tree. 5 rolls did 4 small wreaths and one large one.
Then we wrapped all the greenery around the cross stitching ring and hot glued the endings. Super simple. We then added whatever type of decorations we wanted, today we used bows and Christmas balls, which we applied with hot glue and fishing line. Now each of the bedrooms doors in the hall each have their own small wreath, they are so cute! This is another thing i wanted to get done last year and never got done, now I am so glad they are done and can be used for years to come! So cute, so simple! Here they are in the hall..

I did this craft today with a 2 year old and a 4 year old and look how great they turned out. if you look at the picture of all of the wreaths hanging in the hall they appear to be floating, which I love. This is the technique i used. We used a large peice of fishing line wrapped around the wreath and then on the back of the door inserted a small tack. This way the hole is on the back of the door at the top, were you will probably never notice it. Then run your wreath to the front of the door, I love this trick!
I also did one large one with a old circle foam piece i had, It turned out so great and it feels so nice to know that we made this together!
Happy decorating!
