My crafting tends to ebb and flow. Sometimes I am a flurry of projects churning out one thing after another, while there are other times (particularly when I am feeling pressure or stress) I feel I don’t have a creative bone in my body. I am also a bit of a procrastinator. Needless to say, I am a bit manic about creating during the holidays. Right now, I am in the midst of a wreath making frenzy. I’ve got a wreath up on the front door, in the kitchen, the entryway closet…I even made a wreath for both my mom’s door and my boyfriend’s doors. I’m currently operating on a strict no door left behind policy.
I don’t think I will get around to showing you all of them, but today I wanted to share the fun winter wonderland fur wreath I made for the closet door in my entryway.
It coordinates perfectly with the neutral holiday decor I have going on AND it’s a bit different from other wreaths you find this time of year. I mean, a FUR wreath???
Winter Wonderland Fur Wreath
To recreate this project, you will need the following:
Foam Wreath Form + Faux Fur Trim (like this or eyelash yarn like this)
Small Christmas House or Chapel (maybe something like this)
Tiny Bottle Brush Trees
Wire Cutters
Electronic Cutting Machine (this is the one I use)
Glitter Cardstock
Vinyl
Hot Glue Gun + Glue
Start this project by wrapping a foam wreath form with faux fur. I use FloraCraft’s Styrofoam forms. They come in a variety of sizes and I can always find exactly what I am looking for. For this project, I used a 16″ wreath form.
Next, wrap the wreath with faux fur trim. I couldn’t find faux fur in the color I was looking for so I used a piece of faux fur fabric. I purchased one yard of faux fur, though I probably could have gotten away with half a yard had I draped it differently.
Once the fur is secure, add the small focal ornament. I used a tin chapel found in the ornament bins at Michaels, but a ceramic chapel (like this), small house or a barn would also look cute.
The chapel is surrounded by miniature white bottle brush trees. I used floral wire cutters to adjust the height of the trees before securing them to the wreath.
I secured the chapel and the bottle brush trees to the wreath with hot glue, pressed down into the styrofoam.
I cut a small banner out of glitter paper for the top of the wreath on my Silhouette machine. The only glitter paper I use is the POW brand, made by American Crafts. The glitter does not come loose so it’s PERFECT for crafting (especially if you’re scared of glitter). I also cut the word “wonderland” in vinyl using my Silhouette machine. I used the Siser brand from Expressions Vinyl. It adhered perfectly to the glitter paper.
I used a bit of hot glue to secure the ends of the banner to the wreath. Because it hung a little loosely, I also used some straight pins near the banner layers to ensure it remains secure.
I love how it turned out and it’s neutral enough I can leave it up through January if I want to!
