Paint the wreath frame with three coats of orange acrylic craft paint, letting dry completely between coats. You can also spray paint the frame instead if you prefer.
Use a black ink pen or fine point marker to write one item of your bucket list onto each large clothespins. I used 26 large clothespins for my wreath, but you can use more to make a fuller wreath (and longer bucket list) if you like!
Clip the large clothespins onto the wreath form (writing side down) and space out evenly with enough room for a small clothespin in between each. Clip each clothespin across the outside two rings so that they are secured in place and won’t slide along the wreath form. Alternate between large and small clothespins, using a total of 26 of each size for the wreath.
Use a foam brush to paint just the top of each clothespin. Paint the large ones yellow and the small ones orange.
Wrap a length of yellow rickrack (or other color of rickrack) around the inside two rings of the wreath form in a zigzag pattern. Secure the start and end of the rickrack with a dab of hot glue.
Flip over the large clothespins to show the bucket list side. Hang the wreath with a piece of orange rickrack. You are now ready to start crossing activities off your bucket list!
