Monster Wreaths

IMG_2075.jpg

Just a fun project, that only takes an hour or so and can most likely be made for under $15.00 - maybe more if you or a neighbor don't have access to pine cones.

You'll need:

Wire wreath frame

Pine cones

Glue (I used hot glue - lots of it)

Paint for wreath and teeth (I used 1 color of spray paint and 1 color for the teeth - but as it's a monster wreath, anything goes)

Ping pong balls

Teeth (I used craft sticks/tongue depressors)

Ribbon or other medium for additional decor (optional)

Begin With the Corners

Start by flipping over to the back side of the wire frame and glue 4 pine cones into the "corners".

Fill In

Fill in the spaces between the corners. Finding the right size to fit can take some patience, but it is well worth it.

Inside Ring

After the outside ring, repeat the steps for the inside ring.

Beef It Up

After the 2 rings are dry, flip the frame over and begin gluing as many pine cones as desired all over!

Paint

Pain the wreath your desired color - no color or technique is right or wrong. Get imaginative!

Details

Detail the wreath as desired.

I used ping pong balls for eyes, white painted craft sticks for teeth and added a bow.

Again let your imagination run wild!
