Project Instructions
-
Wrap the batting around the front and sides of the wreath to completely cover. Trim so that the ends meet but do not overlap. Trim the batting even with the back edge of the wreath.
-
Wrap the jersey fabric over the wreath. Allow for a 1” overhang around the outside. Begin gluing the overhang to the back. Keep the fabric even as you go. Glue the end again where you stop, slightly overlapping the fabric.
-
Pull the fabric snug through the inside of the wreath and wrap to the back. Glue the fabric around the back edge as you go. Pull out as many wrinkles as possible. Pleat the fabric evenly around the wreath for a uniform look.
-
Begin pinning the sequins in place as shown to look like falling snow. Pin the sequins sporadically towards the top of the wreath. Pin them thicker and more condensed as they accumulate at the bottom of the wreath.
-
Use a marker or paint pen to write your message on the canvas tags. Tie lengths of yarn to the tags and sequin pin them hanging from the inside of the wreath. Tie lengths of ribbon around the yarn at the top of the tags to embellish.

This wreath is beautiful! I haven't decided if I am going to make one in red or maroon, maybe even royal blue. I think blue would look like sky and the sequins would look like sparkly snow. Can't wait to make this to hang in my dining room.

beautiful and so easy. I glued the majority of the sequins on the bottom and pinned the ones where they were few.
