Dried Flower Wreaths: What about making a nice pinecone wreath
Just a little mish-mash of pine cones, a little ribbon and a wire coat hanger can revive a unique gifting idea or even be an innovation for Christmas, a little dried flower arrangement to be precise. Take some of our easy to follow guidelines and make one yourself.
In the first place you need some,
• Duct tape
• Approximately eight pine cones, keep a few extra in case you need
• A wire coat hanger
• A few decorating items like satin ribbon, accenting leaf and fruit embellishments (a few similar ones as used while making a Christmas basket).
• And, glue
Now you make the wreath.
• Firstly, cut the wire coat hanger into two halves. Bend it into a circle. Twist the two cut ends together.
• Once the ends are well-secured cover the entire thing with the duct tape, this will help keep the ends together giving the pine cones a superior surface to stick onto.
• Now as the circle is ready start fixing the pine cones with a hot glue gun.
• Leave them to dry and turn hard.
• Now it is the time for the decoration, you may add a holly and a ribbon made out of crafting foam. Red beads may go well as holly berries to make it look more apt.
Now it’s all ready. If you think you want a larger wreath than the one you made right now then follow the same procedure only don’t cut the wire hanger into halves in the beginning.
