Pinterest Experiment 6 - Santa Claus Wreath

This one turned out Not Pinterest Perfect! I got the sadz taking this wreath down last night and storing him for next year. I loved pulling into our driveway and seeing this wreath on the door. Nobody else in our neighborhood had this wreath. He was a couture wreath!

This is one you do not want to wait until Dec. 22nd to make. I made this one at the beginning of December. Next year the day after Thanksgiving I'm hanging it up!

Here is the original pin.

This project was so fun! And time consuming! But worth every minute of it. I'm not good at crafts, as we all know by now. So I took my time and yes it took about five hours over three nights to finish this.

Here is the supply list:

12" styrofoam wreath

3" red ribbon

gold rope [Christmas Section]

hot glue

red ornaments, regular size (you will need about 30 or so)

2 boxes tiny red ornaments (you will need about 30 or so)

tiny red, foam balls (I did not use any foam balls because I could not find any)

It was a ballalooza overkill! Fact: you do not need as many ornaments as seen in the above picture. I used felt and a sparkly gold padded material for the belt. I was completely over the whole thing by the time I made the belt. So yes, the buckle is too SMALL for the belt. haha! Better luck next time.

I plan on making one for my mother-in-law if I can find more red ornaments. I suspect that one will be easier. The hardest part was making that belt buckle. Seriously, it was tough. But I finally learned how to use a glue gun. I also gained crafty confidence after this one.

It came out Not Pinterest Perfect! but I loved this experiment.
