DIY Easy Rudolph Christmas Wreath
A fun DIY wreath that is an adorable display on any door!
Yield: 1 wreath
Cost: $15
Materials
- Foam wreath base (any size)
- Offray ribbon (brown, tan, or neutral)
- Glue - I like to use a tacky fabric glue called Beacon 3-in-1, but a low-temp glue gun would also work for this DIY.
- Brown work mittens
- Pillow filler / poly-fil
- Clear jewelry elastic cord
- Red plastic ornament (for Rudolph’s nose)
- Christmas bow for the bottom
- Wired ribbon for hanging
- Craft wire (optional, for extra hanging support)
Instructions
Wrap the Wreath Base
Attach the end of the Offray ribbon to the back of the foam wreath using hot glue. Wrap the ribbon tightly around the wreath, overlapping slightly to cover the foam fully. Glue the end to the back for a neat finish.Create the Antlers with Mittens
Stuff the brown work mittens with pillow filler until plump but flexible. Position the mittens at the top sides of the wreath to resemble antlers. Use a strong glue to secure them firmly. You may need to turn the wreath over and apply pressure so the mittens don't try to pull away before they are fully secured.Add Rudolph’s Nose
String a small red ornament onto a transparent jewelry elastic cord. Tie the ends around the inner top portion of the wreath so the ornament hangs in the center. The clear elastic gives a floating effect for Rudolph’s iconic red nose.Secure the cording knot with a dab of glue.Attach the Bow
Use craft wire to secure a festive Christmas bow to the bottom of the wreath for balance and extra holiday flair.Make the Hanging Loop
Cut a length of wired ribbon for hanging. Glue it to the back top of the wreath and secure with craft wire if desired. This ensures your wreath stays in place when displayed.
