Hi! Tiffin here from Linwood Avenue. This tutorial pairs May Arts velvet ribbon with paper and decorative brads from Creative Imaginations. I love stepping away from the ordinary for wrapping packages and think this mini wreath is the perfect highlight to any gift.

supplies

• May Arts Ribbon

– 2.5 yds – 1/8″ green velvet (3891846)

•  Creative Imaginations
– Crochet brad flower pack
– Decorative card stock

• 3″ wooden drapery hoop

• Low temp glue gun

• Masking tape

• Wire

• Scissors

INSTRUCTIONS

Step 1 – Using your glue gun, secure one end of velvet ribbon onto hoop. Wrap ribbon tightly and evenly around hoop and glue in place when you finish where you started.

Step 2 – Cut 3 small leaf shapes out of paper, no wider than 1″. Cut 3 – 3″ lengths of wire and place on top of the back side of the leaf.

Step 3 – Cover wire and paper leaf with masking tape and press in place. Trim masking tape to follow shape of paper leaf.

Step 4 – Wrap wire leaves around your mini wreath to attach. Bend the wire attached to the underside of the leaf to add some dimension.

Step 5 – Open the clasp on your brad flower and slide under wire and green wrapped ribbon. Press tightly to secure in place.

Step 6 – Tie mini wreath onto your present and write a message on the wrapping paper to show through wreath center.
