These days it feels like all my creative juices are flowing in two directions: first, anything and everything Dollar Tree and second, toward all the wreaths. I’m not sure why, but I am loving it. This week we are putting together a fun Spring/Easter wreath that would add the perfect floral touch to any front door or interior decoration.
Supplies
- Wreath Form or this one
- Artificial Flowers/Greenery or these
- Stove-top Cover or this
- Festive Paper (I used a holiday gift bag)
- Masking Tape/Floral Tape
- Hot Glue
- Thread/Fishing Line (I got mine here)
- Drill (this is a great cost effective option)
- (PS I picked up this adorable ceramic bunny but ended up not using him for the wreath, I did, however, remove the string and wire and place him on the shelf! So cute and expensive looking 😜)
Step 1
If using a gift bag, carefully unfold the paper until it is flat.
Measure the diameter of your selected stove top cover.
Trim your paper to just larger than your needed diameter and affix to your Cricut cutting board.
Then put together your design. Start by adding your circle cut line per your stove cover dimensions. Then add your saying to the center using the font of your choice to create a draw line. Want to click the “easy button” 🚨 Use My Cricut Design by CLICKING HERE.
Once your Cricut design is finished confirm that it fits nicely inside the stove cover.
I wanted the script to stand out more, so I chose to color in the letters using a fine tip Sharpie Pen (this is my favorite). I then glued the finished paper to the inside of the stove cover using a glue stick.
Step 2
Next, we are going to play with the artificial flowers and greenery. The center of my arrangement were these beautiful big peony blossoms. So I first measured how much space the three of them would take on my wreath. From there I started with the greenery. The wire nature of this wreath mold made adding the eucalyptus very easy – I just wove the leaves around it until it was secure.
Next, I worked with the smaller outside flower arrangements. I made each side its own individual arrangement and then secured it to the form using masking tape. (I normally would have used floral tape – but I was out).
Finally, I attached the peony heads to the empty space on the wreath using hot glue (*use extreme caution*).
Step 3
Next, it gets a little more tricky. To attach the stove cover to the wreath form I had my husband drill me three tiny holes. The placement of these holes was in direct relation to the cross-section on the wreath form.
Lastly, I used double ply thread (again would have used the fishing line if I had it on hand) to tie the two pieces together.
This craft could easily be transformed into any holiday or day of the week! Such a fun project!
Blessings for a wonderful Easter weekend!
