Winter Wreath – Inspired by TinyPrints

12.30.13 • Crafts

Please Note:  I received one or more of the products mentioned for free in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Please know, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”

Earlier this month I was contacted by TinyPrints, an online stationery website that offers stylish party invitations, thank you cards, custom stationery, and more wondering if I’d be interested in creating a craft inspired by one of their cards or invitations. Um, yes! I’m still brand new to crafting so it’s always nice to have a little inspiration when coming up with new projects.

Since I’ve been all about them wreaths this year (I mean, seriously this is what, number 4 this year?) I decided to do a winter wreath. I love, love Christmas time and it’s always such a downer when the decorations come down – every thing feels so naked and sad. So I really wanted to do something that would ease the post-Christmas transition so ‘normal’ life. When I was perusing TinyPrint’s Holiday Party Invitations, inspiration struck. I mean, just look at those beauties! The second I saw these snowflakes party invitations, I knew what I’d do.

For this winter wreath I went with my tried and true method – wrapping the wreath foam with blue ribbon, securing it with some dressmakers pins and a tiny bit of hot glue, then hot glueing the embellishments, in this case some adorable (and cheap!) glittered snowflake ornaments I got the day after Christmas and that was that. The ornaments package I got came with 20 snowflakes but I only used four so I saved the rest to hang on our tree next year.

I absolutely love the way it turned out! It’s elegant and definitely winter-y but not Christmas-y. Plus, it took me all of 10 minutes to whip up this winter wreath and it looks awesome hanging on our door, making me miss the Christmas ornament wreath a little less.

Do you do any after-Christmas decorating? Let me know what you think!

    I love this for after Christmas. I feel like it’s such a let down when I have to put away all my holiday decorations.

    I love Tiny Prints! I use them every single year for my holiday cards. They always have the best discounts and deals, and their cards are really high quality I think. I love that wreath!

    I love the simple elegance of that wreath! And the fact that it only took 10 minutes to make. That is MY kind of craft project. 🙂 Happy New Year!

    Do you have the wreath on an outside door? Does the satin ribbon get weathered at all or will it fade much if it’s up for a month or more?

      Hey! I do have it on an outside door. This is my first time using the satin ribbon but the ribbon on my other wreaths didn’t fade and it was up for roughly a month and we live in the desert so we get lots of sun!

    Beautiful wreath…I have a question…about how much ribbon does it take to make this and the width size…I love wreaths and this looks like something I might good do!!

      I usually use the 2in ribbon and how much, depends on the wreath form I use, but anywhere between 2-3 rolls usually gets the job done.
