DIY Classic Holiday Wreath

Create a wintry forest scene for your front door by adding bottlebrush trees and mini ice-skating figures to a foam wreath that’s been wrapped in holiday fabric.

Materials

12″ foam wreath
fabric strips (in desired pattern)
bottle brush trees and bushes
scaled miniature ice-skating figurines

1 1/2″-thick ribbon
scissors
hot glue gun
hot glue sticks

Cut Fabric Strips

Cut fabric into several 2 1/2-inch-wide strips.

Wrap Wreath in Fabric

Dab glue onto the back of the wreath and secure the edge of the fabric to the foam. Begin wrapping the fabric strips around the wreath. Repeat, securing with glue periodically, until the wreath is completely covered by fabric.

Add Trees

Remove the bases of the bottle brush trees and bushes so that the wire is exposed. Insert the wire into the wreath, then bend the wire so that the tree is flat against the wreath, securing with glue as needed. Repeat with more trees until you get a landscape effect on either side of the wreath.

Add Ribbon and Figurines

Cut an 18-inch piece of ribbon and lace it through the trees so that it’s loosely draped across the bottom of the wreath. Glue the ribbon into place, as needed. Then, using a dab of glue, secure each of the miniature figurines onto the ribbon. Once the glue has cooled, hang the wreath.
