Here’s how to make the cross wreath for Easter. Almost everything can be found at the Dollar Tree unless otherwise noted. If you switch out the base color, ribbon & floral you can make this wreath for other seasons & holidays too!
Supplies needed
- Cross wreath form
- Mesh tubing 4-5 bags or 2-3 rolls of deco mesh
- Pipe cleaners
- Tulle
- Burlap Easter ribbon
- Bowdabra bow wire (Wal-Mart etc)
- Fake flowers
- Twine/jute (to hang)
- Bowdabra (can also work with mini)
Instructions
- Measure & cut tubing/deco mesh (I use 18 inch cuts for tubing, about 6 inches deco mesh)
- Place pipe cleaner & cut tubing/mesh into bowdabra (or mini), shape as desired. Repeat 1st 2 steps until entire frame is covered.
- Measure twine/jute across back of cross frame and tie simple hanger
- Place bow wire and burlap ribbon into bowdabra and make the bow as desired, I cut 36 inches or 2 ruler lengths
- Place pipe cleaners just above and under the bow and add the fake flowers
- Roll out tulle to desired length x2 and cut. Simply apply to the cross and the tubing or mesh will hold it in place.
