Equipment

  • Cricut
  • Cricut EasyPress
  • Fabric Shears
  • Pinking shears
  • Hot Glue Gun

Materials

  • 14" square of white canvas fabric
  • Black heat transfer
  • Hocus Pocus SVG file The link to the free file is available in the Tips & Tricks section in the original post
  • 10" wooden embroidery hoop
  • 310-yard rolls of 6" tulle (I used lime green, orange, and purple glitter tulle)
  • Wired ribbon

Instructions

  • Using a Cricut, cut the SVG Hocus Pocus design (linked in the Tips & Tricks section in the original post) from the black heat transfer material. Use the Cricut EasyPress to fuse the design onto the white fabric piece. Set the piece aside.
  • Use fabric shears to cut 12" sections of the tulle. For my tri-colored wreath, I used 27 pieces of tulle of each color, or 81 pieces total.
  • Separate the outer and inner rings of the embroidery hoop, and set the inner ring aside.
  • Working with one tulle piece at a time, gather the piece into a tube and then fold in half lengthwise. Attach the piece to the outer ring of the embroidery hoop with a slipknot. For a tri-colored wreath, alternate adding three sections of tulle per color.
  • Continue adding the pieces until you have worked your way around the entire perimeter of the outer ring. Make sure to leave the screw closure of the ring uncovered so you can tighten it later on. Set the wreath aside.
  • Use sharp scissors to cut the inner ring, and then overlap the edges by 1" and secure with hot glue.
  • Stretch the fabric piece over the inner loop, and then press it down through the back side of the wreath. Important: Make sure the metal clamp at the top of the outer ring is oriented with the top of your design. Tighten the embroidery hoop screw to secure everything into place.
  • Use pinking shears to trim away the excess fabric on the back of the wreath. I like to leave a 1/2" border of fabric, and then fold the fabric over the inner hoop and secure it with hot glue to keep the back of my wreath tidy, but that is totally up to you.
  • Create a bow with the wired ribbon, and secure it to the top of the wreath with hot glue.
