DIY Flocked Wreath
Quick and easy DIY alert! I'm so excited to share how to create a flocked wreath because it's easier than you think. The first thing you will want to do is find that perfect wreath. I opt to get a fresh-cut wreath, but you can also do this with an artificial one.
The next step is to flock your wreath. I used two cans of Santa Snow to get this done. One can do the trick, but I got two for more volume. You can also use another type of flock, powder snow flock, to add as well.
After I flocked my wreath, I added some eucalyptus floral around it to add more dimension and texture. Not to mention, I love to use eucalyptus whenever I can.
To attach them, I used my glue gun. I first cut each piece of the stem using my floral cutters, then I arranged them how I wanted before actually attaching them.
Next, I added some pinecones with my glue gun. You can paint your pine cones white if you have plain ones and spray them with some Santa Snow!
Moving along, I decided to add a bow, of course, to the top of my wreath. I'm going to share the easiest way to create a bow. The first thing you will want to do is cut out three strips—one long, one medium, and one short in length. The ribbon I used for this is the 2.5-inch burlap ribbon.
After you cut the strips, you will glue the small- and medium-size strips using a glue gun. You will be creating a circle shape and gluing each end together.
When you finish gluing the two pieces, the next thing is to scrunch them together in the middle.
I then use a pipe cleaner to attach my smaller bow to my medium-sized bow with the smaller one on top. You can also use floral wire.
After that, I glue my bow to the longest strip using my hot glue.
Once glued, you will have your bow tail, and I cut dovetails on the bottom. To do this, all you will need to do is fold your strip hotdog style and cut up diagonally.
To spice up my ribbon a little more, I added a smaller gold ribbon to my center to hide the pipe cleaner and my tail and smaller bow.
After, I attach my bow to the top of my wreath using the remainder of the pipe cleaner and cut off the excess.
I added more decor around my wreath, starting with miniature ornaments attaching them with my glue gun. I also added more ribbon around the wreath.
Lastly, I added battery-operated timed LED lights around my wreath. I also added some more flocking for more volume. You can choose to use multi-colored lights or cool or warm white LED lights. I chose warm white, which is my absolute favorite.
And that's it - you will have a great flocked and styled tree to add to your front door, window, or anywhere else you choose! I love how this turned out, and it was fun to create and super easy to do. I hope you enjoyed this project too!
