Nothing Says Easter like a Feather Boa

Project 6: Easter Wreath

My new favorite website is Pintrest.com.  I have gotten a lot of great ideas off here so far.  Most of them have been food related but not all.  This is one that I saw on there.  When I went back to find it I could not so I had to improvise when I went to the store.

Materials:

  • 8inch wreath (this one happens to be made of sticks)
  • 6ft green feather boa
  • Decorations
  • Hot Glue Gun
Steps:
  • Start wrapping the boa around the wreath. I originally started just to make sure I had a long enough boa and never too it off.
  • I tied the two ends together at the top.  There were little string loops there so they made a natural hook too.
  • Little blob of hot glue just to keep it all in place.
  • I then used the hot glue to put all the decorations on.  And that is it.  
Things I learned:
  • Don't use too much glue or it will make the feathers look flat.
  • Lay your design out twice and glue once
  • If your glue gun gets too hot it can melt things.
I think this came out super cute.  My bows need some help though.  It is a skill I am still trying to work on. The original picture I saw online looked like yarn instead of boa but I think you would need a lot.  I am going to try to do a few others in the near future so I will post pictures when I do.
