First remove all the hanging ribbons from your sisal wreaths. I also removed the little miniature bows from each wreath, as these would be difficult to spray paint evenly. Lay out the basic pattern of mini wreaths and group them into the various color sections. Head outdoors or to a well ventilated area and apply a generous coat of paint to each wreath. Allow for the proper dry time and do a second coat.
Tip: The dark colored paints, do not need as many coats as the lighter colors.
As your wreaths are drying outdoors, you can begin to wrap your main wreath form. I used a wide gold ribbon to cover the styrofoam wreath form. Simply apply a small amount of hot glue to secure the ribbon and start wrapping.
After the sisal wreaths are dried (I used both small and medium for this project), it is time to apply them to your main gold wreath! I played around with the placement until it was just right. Then, using a small amount of hot glue, I started at the top and worked both sides down, in a symmetrical pattern so that the colors and wreaths would be even and match up as I went along.
I added a few small red bows to my Cream Frosted Sisal Trees. I think it added the perfect touch of seasonal sweetness! I also included some red, pink and white pom poms to connect the wreath color palette to the rest of my vignette.
I think this wreath is the perfect amount of color and simple.
