{DIY} Deck the Halls with WREATHS
It's here....It's finally here...our DIY on our version of a vintage shabby Music/book wreath. Here is what you NEED:
music sheet paper/ pages out of a book {25}
glue gun/ glue stick
paper plates or cardboard- this will be what you glue the paper to
elmers glue
glitter
small piece of ribbon
crepe paper
notions of your choice
To get started heat up your glue gun and wrap around roughly 25 sheets of your paper so it creates a cone shape. Next cut your paper plate or cardboard into a circle I cut the ribbed edges off a paper plate so I have a nice flat surface to work with. Once you get your cones created I still use my glue gun and start gluing them onto the plate/cardboard. I start by making a cross {see picture above} Once those are stuck on there good I go ahead and glue cones in between the two cones {see picture above} I continue this process once more. Once you have it filled in I turn the plate around and fill in the back sparingly but where needed {this just gives it a little bit more fuller and 3D look! Your wreath should be coming together at this point! Once you are finished filling in the back grab your ribbon and create a loop so you have something to hang it from {see picture}. Turn around and create your center {focal point} I usually take crepe paper and create a rosette for the center...glue on.... then I usually add a notion of choice {can usually find these at any local craft store in the holiday section} In picture above I purchased some glitter letters and added the word JOY! Being its a JOYful season and all! I also had these cute banners that read NOEL! Have I mentioned I LoVe ChRiStMaS!!
Then for a little extra glitz I have added glitter in the corners of the pages/cones {see picture}. You have now created your very own gorgeous music WREATH! They are truly very cute with book paper as well! Would be great for the book worms during Christmas!! I think I know what my daughter will be giving to her piano teacher as a Thank you Christmas Gift! Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for stopping by!
Love love love!! Keep ur ideas coming as they are fantastic!!!
