This is one of several simple craft…
COMPLETE MATERIALS
* 10 STYROFOAM WREATH form
* 2 YARDS of 2 1/2″ wide ribbon
* 16 – 18 Small common PINS WITH SILVER HEAD
* Assorted fall leaves
* 8″ WIRE
* WIRE CUTTERS

first time
Cut your wire carefully….. so you will have one 6″ piece and two to make this craft

1″ pieces. With the 6″ piece, try to form a loop
and twist the ends together. Poke the
twisted end into the Styrofoam approximately 1″
from the outer edge on the backside of the
wreath and fold the loop towards the outer edge.
To help secure the loop. now, fold each of the 1″pieces it in half and stick them into the Styrofoam
so that they straddle the wire of the loop and
place one on either side of where you attached
the loop.
Then……
Cover the inner circle of the wreath with ribbon
as shown using common pins to secure it to the
wreath form. Cut the ribbon long enough so
that it can overlap by 1 1/2″ and fold the raw
end under before pinning it in place.
Next: Cut a variety of leaves off their bunches
leaving about 1/2″ of the stem attached.
After that: Lay the wreath on your work surface so
that the hanger is face down (against the work
surface). Start to attach the leaves to
the wreath by poking the end form of the stem into
the wreath form. Continue adding leaves to
the front and side surfaces overlapping them as
you go so there is no Styrofoam showing.
Finally : Make a bow with the remaining ribbon.
and attach it to the wreath with two common pins
stuck through the ribbon in an inconspicuous
spot such as inside the knot of the bow.
When you are attaching the bow, be sure the hanger
is at the top of your wreath. Trim the
ends of the ribbon to your desired length.
To make a nice finished edge either cut the ends
at an angle or fold the ends in half lengthwise
and cut on an angle starting on the outside and
going higher as you cut toward the folded edge.
This will form a or v shape in the ribbon when you
unfold it. For a different look, try
replacing the cloth bow with a bow made from
raffia will make this craft look beautiful.
