Merry Christmas everyone. I just love this time of year! The weather gets colder and maybe if were lucky we get snow. Today Im going to show you how to make this wonderful Candy cane wreath by WhipperBerry This wreath is amazing. I am goinig to make it tonight! Any way let me wipe my drool off the computer screan and let you see the wreath...
It is soooo easy to make, anyone can do it. Plus it really makes a statement.
Here is what you will need…
~ One foam wreath form {mine is about 13 inches across}
~1/2 yard of muslin
~ 3/4 yard of red canvas fabric
~3/4 yard of white canvas fabric
~ 250 straight pins
~ Black ribbon
To begin, tear your muslin into long 4 inch wide strips and then wrap your foam wreath form.
Secure the muslin to the foam form with straight pins(or hot glue). Next, you need to cut your canvas into ROUGHLY 4×4 inch squares. Don’t worry about exact measurements pretty close works perfect for this project.
Once you have your squares cut, start with the red and take one square and fold in half and then fold in half again. Take a straight pin and pin it to the wreath form like this…
Continue to fill in a row of red, working them close together to give it a nice full effect. Wimpy wreaths look sad, so don’t be stingy!! Alternate one row of red followed by two rows of white until the entire wreath is filled in. Tie your black ribbon into a bow and affix the bow to the wreath with a couple of pins. Voila, you’re finished!!
