I
thought for Trash to Treasure this week I would show you a really
simple Christmas wreath. This one again can be made in a variety of
sizes and since real wreaths come in many sizes it will easily cross
over to Barbie scale too.
I
like to use the split rings that I show in the video because they are
pretty cheap and easy to find. They are the same rings that are on
most key rings I have ever owned. In fact the first time I made one
of these I used the ring off an extra key ring that was laying
around.
For
the size shown in the video (package says the rings are 33mm which
for those of us that aren't good at metric they measure around 1 ¼”
in diameter) I like to use 3 chenille stems to get a good coverage.
You might be able to get by with just 2 but 1 won't go all the way
around.
Then
it is on to the fun part of the project. Decorating! I just did a
very simple decoration on mine but feel free to go wild. I would have
done more but it was freezing in my work room the day I filmed.
Look
through your ribbons, buttons and beads to find items to attach to
your wreath. I am sure that you can also make little paper shapes,
use tiny stickers or whatever else your imagination can come up with.
If
you make a wreath or any of the other projects I have shown on video
be sure to post them on the Facebook wall. We all love to see what
you are making. Also feel free to post pictures of any of your mini
projects on there or to post questions too.
