MERRY CRAFTMAS ( DIY WREATH )

JINGLE ALL THE WAY !! 
 HEY FOLKS, 
                                                   I know CHRISTMAS is yet to come ,but i cant resist the excitement . I love this time of the month ...when everything around you is glittering and sparkling ,  stars in the balcony of houses and creatively decorated christmas tree !!! aww.... giving me goosebumps . I know the festivities are yet to start but it sure feels blissful and joyous when i think about it . I absolutely agree this is the most expensive month of the year with CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR in the same month . So, i got a tad bit creative and tried to pull some ideas from pintrest and try it at home . What is the point of getting store bought things and decorating your home .... put a lil' piece of you in the decorations and TRUST ME , you'll surely feel amazing !! 

                        Now I am going to share with you folks the wreath i made at home !! it was absolutely fun to make and did not cost me a dime !! I just used the things that were lying around in my house !! 

                                    IT'S A WREATH !! 
THINGS YOU'LL NEED :


- PAPER PLATE 
- SCISSORS 
- OLD BOOK ( TO BE RIPPED OUT )
- LOTS OF GLUE 
- DECORATIVE ELEMENTS 
- AND ALL YOUR BASIC CRAFT SUPPLIES 
 - AND TAPE .






MY LIL' CRAFT SUPPLIES BAG  !! JUST CANT DO WITH OUT IT !! 
  STEP 1 : Rip out the binding of an old book !! make sure it is an old book so that the wreath you
make looks vintage and has a rugged effect . 

STEP 2:   Make cones out of the ripped pages of the book . you may have to make quite a few . It may take some time and the no. of cone will depend on the size of the plate ! 
the cone !!


STEP 3:  Depending on the size of my plate i made 30 cones approximately 
 STEP 4 :  Mark the center of the plate and start sticking the cones on the wrong side of the paper plate . Make sure that the pointy end of the cone coincides with the marked center of the plate . 
NOTE: ADD LOTS OF GLUE TO  STICK THE CONES TO THE PLATE SO THE CONES DO NOT FALL OFF THE ARRANGEMENT 


Go all around the center point and stick all the the cones so that no gap prevails in between them .




If you are satisfied with the outcome of the wreath then you can stop . But if you still have the paper cones left and wanna make your wreath even more puffy then add extra cones here and there to give it a nicer look .


you  can lastly add decorative elements like bells, ribbons , flowers, etc in the middle to give it a more chrismassy effect .... 


HERE IS WHAT MY WREATH LOOKS LIKE ...LASTLY ADD A STRING AT THE BACK BY PUNCH ING HOLES IN THE PAPER PLATE AND THERE YOU HAVE ...A CHRISTMAS WREATH !! 

CAN EVEN ADD A SMALL LED LIGHT IN THE CENTRE



DO TRY IT ..IT IS COST EFFECTIVE AND ABSOLUTELY FUN ! IF YOU HAVE A CREATIVE MIND AND LOADS OF TIME THEN YOU CAN MAKE A BETTER ONE .

HAPPY DIY-ing !!
