This craft came to be as an inspiration from an Instagram post by JL Desgins. I actually found the post through Wolf Camp Studios, of Costa Mesa, Ca, when they were having their Handcrafted Holiday Pop-up shop. I saw the wreath below going for $65. I wanted that wreath, but I had 2 problems: a.) I couldn’t make it to Costa Mesa that weekend, and b.) I didn’t have an extra $65 to spend on Holiday deco, (we run our ship on a budget!)
I already had all the crafts I would need to recreate my version and vision of this, (minus the raw wreath). I made a little trippy-poo to Hobby Lobby, snagged one for around $5 and the rest is history.
I am in love with the finished project–like, really in love. Here is my step-by-step how-to in photos, (of course incorporating my crafting motto – ‘use what you have’.)
Raw wreath
Feather tags I had, purchased from the $1 spot at Target
Lace twine back and forth (creating a star-like pattern), on the back side of your wreath.
Beads I had in my craft supplies.
Tie feathers and twine to the bottom and back side of your wreath, adding beads as desired.
‘Borrow’ some greenery from a tree or garland, (real or fake).
Decorate the outer part of your wreath by tucking it under the little branches.
Hang wreath dream catcher
What I love about this DIY, is that you can hang it all year around (just remove the greenery after the holidays.) I would love your feedback on this one! Please comment below, if you so desire. xo, Em
