To Make Miniature Wreaths From Wired Trim You Will Need:
- Lengths of Wired Trim the length you need will depend on the size of the wreath you wish to make and the thickness of the trim. The one inch vine style wreath needed approximately 18 inches of wire trim, folded double. The pipe cleaner wreath used a 15 inch length of thick pipe cleaner, the holly trim wreath used 15 inches of wired miniature holly garland. Eighteen inches of wire with clear glass seed beeds was used to make the beaded wreath which is approximately 1 1/4 inches across. You will need a length approximately three to five times the circumference of the wreath. If you need to double the material to make it the right thickness, you will need double the length.
- Wire Cutters
- Sharp Scissors
- PVA Glue to secure the ends of trim after it is cut.
- Wired Ribbons or other decorations for your wreaths. See instructions for making ribbon bows.
- Tweezers Useful for wrapping smaller wreaths but not necessary.
Tips Cloth covered wire can be painted to resemble vines to make smaller scale wreaths, fabric can be wrapped around wire to make rag wreaths (see instructions for making rag baskets to learn how to wrap the wire)
