Snowflake Wreath

I know, I know...it's not even Thanksgiving yet and here we are with a Christmas craft.
Sheesh!
But Christmas is in the air my lovlies, just look around.  Its in the stores, playing on the radio, and dancing through our thoughts.
With that marks the season of winter crafting, holiday decorating, festive music, and decadent recipes.
So we're going to start the season off early with a snow flake wreath.
It's easy, elegant, and inexpensive (just the way we like it).
We pinky promise not to holiday over load you just yet though!

Step 1
Start with a foam wreath.  We picked up ours for $5 at Walmart.


Step 2
Wrap the entire wreath with large, silky white ribbon (another $5 Walmart purchase)


Step 3
Begin spraying small sections of the wreath at a time with an adhesive.  Sprinkle faux snow over the entire piece and allow to dry.


Step 4
While that's drying, cut out various sized snow flakes from sheets of craft foam ($.89 per at Michaels)
There are millions of different templates online.


Step 5
Glue the snowfalkes onto your wreath and hang!



Happy crafting and home renovations!

Very very pretty. We'll be doing our Elf party after Thanksgiving and we always craft a snowflake garland. I might need to add a variation of this snowflake wreath to our garland too. Love it!
