Being in a relationship can often make you more crafty...well in my case it has. Since dating J these last almost 6 months, I've put 3 wreaths on his door. My newest wreath is for January. So in case you might want to make one too, I've decided to show you how.
I love using grapevine wreaths. Generally they are not that expensive and you can buy them at Hobby Lobby. I purchased some of the "snow in a can" as I call it. Though you do need to be careful because sometimes it will not dry properly. The snowflakes I picked up at Dollar General after Christmas and got a good deal.
The snow can be a bit messy, so I put it on newspaper to spray. Be sure to spray outside because you need to have ventilation.
I did not overly spray the wreath, just enough to give it a dusting. Then I took it inside to sit for around a day.
Before I glued anything on, I decided to place the snowflakes around the wreath to get the idea of how it would look before actually attaching them. I didn't want it overly decorated, so I did not use all of the snowflakes I purchased. I used a hot glue gun to attach my snowflakes to the wreath. I will give a tip in saying that you need to make sure you put glue on both the back of the snowflake and where you are placing it on the wreath. Then once it is on there, be sure to hold it down for a few seconds while the glue sets.
Give the wreath a little "breathing time" and allow the glue to fully dry. Then you can either use ribbon or just work the wreath where it is hanging on the door. Then enjoy your wreath.
