    Festive wreaths

    August 31, 2011

    Feather wreath

    You will need
    • 
    vine wreath
    • white paint
    • white feathers
    • clear silicone
    • silver Christmas balls
    • a long strip of organza

    To make
    1 Paint the wreath white and leave it to dry.

    2 Starting from a point and working systematically, glue feathers to the front of the wreath using silicone. Intersperse the feathers with silver balls glued on with silicone. Glue smaller feathers around the balls so that they are slightly obscured – this will give the wreath a soft, romantic look.

    3 Thread the strip of organza through the top of the wreath and use it to hang the wreath on your door.

     

    Floral wreath

    You will need
    • vine wreath
    • white paint
    • bright pink netting
    • thin, transparent nylon thread
    • clear silicone
    • bright pink silk flowers

    To make
    1 Paint the wreath white and leave it to dry.

    2 Cut a strip of pink netting and wrap it lightly around the wreath so the wood is still visible. Sew the netting to the back of the wreath with thin, transparent nylon thread.

    3 Using silicone, secure silk flowers here and there on the front of the wreath to create a cheerful, fresh look.

     

    Forest wreath

    You will need
    • 
    vine wreath
    • three bottle lids (to hold candles)
    • long screws and screwdriver
    • dried moss
    • joiner’s glue
    • dried twigs
    • fresh climber leaves
    • dried heather
    • short, fat white candles

    To make
    1 Arrange the lids in a triangle on the wreath and secure them with screws. Glue dried moss around the edges of the lids using joiner’s glue – the lids should be completely obscured.

    2 Insert dried twigs into the openings in the wreath and secure with glue if necessary.

    3 Glue extra dried moss to the wreath and insert fresh climber leaves and dried heather here and there into the openings on the wreath.

    4 Lay the wreath on a table and place the candles on the lids to complete the look.
