Cost: $20

Equipment

  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Cricut Machine
  • Paint Brushes
  • Foam Spouncer

Materials

  • 1 Round Wood Wreath Base
  • Contact Paper
  • Mod Podge
  • 2 bottles Acrylic Craft Paint any color
  • Floral and Greenery Stems

Instructions

  • Use acrylic paint and a brush to paint the wreath base with two even coats. Allow paint to dry completely.
  • While the paint dries, use the Cricut machine to create a stencil with your desired lettering with the Contact Paper.
    Cut Stencil with Cricut Machine
  • Affix the stencil in the desired position on the dry wreath form, making sure to press firmly to ensure it is secured without any bubbles or gaps underneath.
  • Use a small paint brush to apply a thin layer of Mod Podge over the entire stenciled design. This step will help prevent any paint from leaking under the stencil. Allow the Mod Podge to dry completely.

  • Using the foam spouncer, apply a thin layer of acrylic paint over the stencil.
    Pro Tip: To make sure that there isn't too much paint on the spouncer, dab the sponge end into the paint, and then dab it gently onto a paint palette or paper towel to get rid of any excess paint.
    Foam Spouncer for Stenciling
  • While paint is still wet, gently remove the stencil. Set the wreath form aside to allow the paint to dry completely.
  • While the paint dries, gently remove the blooms, leaves and greenery from the artificial flower stems.

  • When the stenciled message is completely dry, arrange the flowers as desired around the perimeter of the wreath, and attach them to the wreath with hot glue.
    Hot Glue Flowers to Wood Wreath Form
  • Finish the wreath by making a bow from the wired ribbon and affixing it with hot glue to the wreath. I positioned mine across the center of the wreath, but you can place yours anywhere you like.
