Christmas Wreath by Tina Connolly

Hi everyone,

I've created a special wreath to decorate my home for Christmas this year, and wanted to share this tutorial with you.

Wrap a styrofoam wreath with fabric of your choice. (I cut strips of organza approximately 7cm wide)

Cut Holly & Berry Flourish in red and green Coredinations Glittersilk cardstock and trim green die-cut and layer as shown.

Cut two of Christmas Star from white and silver Coredinations Glittersilk, and layer with the silver stars in the center.

Adhere Holly & Berry Flourish on top. Attach to top of wreath.

Cut Christmas Fir Trees from white and green Glittersilk cardstock and add a little "snow" using white paint or medium. Cut Reindeer's Sleigh from red Glittersilk. Cut a piece of acetate and attach to back of wreath. Adhere trees and sleigh. Spray acetate from behind with white mist to create a snowing effect. Allow to dry then spray with a clear coat varnish, or fixative so it won't wipe off.

Cut two Holly Branch Flourish and attach to bottom of wreath. Embellish with red Gemstones.
