Sewing Info & Tips


Materials:

  • 9" Paper plate
  • Ribbon - at least 24" long
  • Hot glue gun & glue sticks
  • Artificial fall leaves and berries

1) Cut the center out of a 9" paper plate and discard the center piece.

2) Fold a 4" pipecleaner in half forming a loop and twist the two ends together.  Hot glue the ends of the pipecleaner to the  front side of the plate with the loop extending to the rim of the plate.

3) Flip the plate over.  The back of the plate will be the front of the wreath.

4) Hot glue artificial leaves all over the plate overlapping them as you glue them on.

5) Hot glue several clusters of fall colored berries on top of the leaves.

6) Make a bow with the ribbon and hot glue it to the bottom front of the wreath.  Be sure that the pipecleaner hanger is at the top before you glue the bow on.  Trim the ends of the ribbon at an angle.
