Supplies

  • A 12-inch cardboard or Styrofoam wreath form (or go full DIY and cut a 12-inch wreath shape from an old cardboard box!)
  • 2 yards of velvet or any other festive leftover fabric scraps
  • 4 yards of ribbon
  • Sewing pins
  • A low-heat hot-glue gun

Instructions

  1. Cut velvet into several long strips wide enough to cover wreath form. Secure one end of velvet to wreath with glue.
  2. Wrap the form with velvet, overlapping it to make a wrinkly effect. Use pins to secure the fabric in place at the back. When the wreath is covered, tuck and glue the other end into place.Secure raw edges at the back with a line of hot glue.
  3. Criss-cross ribbon over wreath and pin into place.
