DIY Wreath Instructions
-
Fold a filter in half, pinch on the bottom, pull through your hand to make a flower.
-
Flatten the bottom and glue to the wreath. Star gluing from the centre row, and keep going around till you reach the outer edge. Remember to leave the back FLAT.
-
Wrap a wire around the top of your wreath before starting to glue the filters on. It’s MUCH harder to work a wire through there later. The wire will also come in handy when you want to hang the wreath before adding some of your finishing touches. I always like to see it on the wall as I’m gluing my decorations on.

I bought a few decorations from Michaels Craft Store. This little bag contained cinnamon scented pine cones and 3 decorative pumpkins.
-
I used a little bunch of cream coloured roses and cut all the stems down.
-
And with a few more little additions, this wreath came together nicely.
-
I wrapped some twine around the wire and topped with another pine cone.
