Materials List

Willow twig ring with a diameter of 21”
Natural hessian (burlap), cut into 2” wide strips (you will need 6-8 strips)
20 large light yellow skeleton leaves
3 dried flowers (in this case, dried protea flats were used)
9 dried wheat stalks
3 faux orange chinese lantern seed pods
2 faux green chinese lantern seed pods
11 yellow paper sunflowers on wired stems
10 red faux raspberries on wired stems
8 green faux cherries on wired stems
25-30 faux acorns
15-20 small red feathers
Three small cream feathers
8-10 small yellow skeleton leaves
15” of 0.3” wide brown satin ribbon
Standard scissors
Long-nosed pliers
Hot glue gun and glue sticks

Instructions

Use the hessian strips to create a “canvas” for the arrangement that will be done on the wreath. Add a drop of hot glue at the back of the twig ring and glue the one end of a hessian strip in place. Wrap the hessian strip tightly around the twig ring. Hot glue the second end of the strip in place at the back of the ring, and cut off any remaining hessian. Repeat with the rest of the strips, until two thirds of the ring has been covered with hessian.
Glue a layer of large skeleton leaves to the hessian.
Cut the stems from the dried flowers and glue the flowers in place.
Complete the arrangement with the wheat stalks, seed pods, sunflowers, raspberries, cherries, acorns, feathers and small skeleton. Use the pliers to cut the wired stems shorter. Hot glue everything to keep them in place.
Tie the ribbon around the top of the wreath and make a knot at the back of the ring. Then, make a loop with one end of the ribbon and hot glue it to the wreath. Neatly cut off the remaining ribbon ends and allow the glue to dry before hanging.
