CRAFTS WITH ANASTASIA-- AUTUMN WREATH


Is there a specific craft you’d like directions for? Or maybe you have some craft supplies you’d like to incorporate into a project? Let us know. That’s what reader Liz V. did. Last week she mentioned that she now had pinecones galore, thanks to Hurricane Irene, and wondered if I could give her directions for making a pinecone wreath. Well, here it is. Hope you like it, Liz!

AUTUMN WREATH

Materials:
12” grapevine wreath

assorted autumn colored silk leaves

five 4” - 5” pinecones

six 2” craft pumpkins

glue gun and glue sticks

wire for hanging

1. Glue silk leaves in five groups of 2 and 3 leaves spaced around grapevine wreath.

2. Glue a pinecone between each leaf grouping.

3. Glue pumpkins between pinecones.

4. Glue several more leaves in-between and on top of pincones.

5. Cut a small piece of wire. Insert into grapevine wreath and twist to make hanging loop.
