“W” is for Winter Wreath

January 16, 2013

Craft: winter wreath

Make a winter wreath from raffia pom poms, pinecones, wood slices and jute wrapped pears.

I gathered lots of natural supplies I already had on hand:
-raffia
– pinecones (from here and here)
– wood slices (from here)
– jute wrapped pears (from here)
Made lots of pom poms from the raffia (tutorial below) and combined all the pieces:

The current orange colored front door poses a tiny decorating challenge, neutrals seem to be the solution:

Here’s how to make the winter wreath:

1. Make raffia pom poms.
Cut cardboard circles as pictured below, about 4″ diameter:
2. Place wire in circle shape with ends bent around opening:
(Wire will go in between cardboard pieces.)

3. Line up raffia – multiple long pieces – find middle and begin wrapping around cardboard shape:

4. Wrap one side until end of raffia and bend wire down to hold raffia in place:
5. Repeat with other side and twist wire ends together snug:

6. Cut loops along edge of cardboard shape:

 7. Remove cardboard and check to be sure wire is tight and secure.

8. Use a flat wreath form:
(mine happened to already be wrapped in burlap but it’s not necessary)

9. Secure raffia pom poms to wreath form by wrapping wire around form:
10. Add pinecones, wire together and wrap around form:

11. Make holes in wood slices:

12. String onto twine and wrap twine around wreath form:

13. Hot glue jute wrapped pears in place.
