Get ready to unlock your creativity! Join Brandy Downs from A Rustic Stitch as she shows you how to turn an ordinary Dollar Store clearance wreath into a repurposed winter wreath.
Brandy’s got some seriously cool repurposing tricks up her sleeve, and she’ll teach you how to transform clearance items into stunning home decor with a rustic twist. Get ready to be inspired and dive into Brandy’s awesome winter wreath tutorial. Let’s get our creative juices flowing and have a blast together!
First, remove the seasonal florals from the clearance wreath and lay them aside for another project.
Next, cut a circle from a piece of cardboard. Print out your image and cut it out to the size of the cardboard circle. Use some Modpodge to attach the printable to the cardboard. If desired cover the back of the cardboard with some contact paper. Cover the front of the printable with another coat of ModPodge.
When the ModPodge is dry, cover the image with some antique wax and wipe off the excess.
Cut a piece of Bowdabra bow wire, fold it in half, and lay it in the Bowdabra. Next, place the burlap ribbon in the Bowdabra and begin making loops back and forth. Now, lay in the various strips of fabric, find the center, and place in the Bowdabra, then fold the other ends over making a small bow. Continue till you have used all your strips.
Thread the loose wires through the loop for a slipknot and pull tight. Remove from the Bowdabra, turn to the back and, tie a knot. Fluff and arrange your bow.
To finish attach a hanger to the cardboard image and then use hot glue to attach it to the wreath. Now, add some greenery to the wreath with hot glue and tie the bow to the top. Finish by adding some more greenery and berries all around.
