Homemade Crafts: Ribbon Christmas Cookie Wreath!

Hi everyone, Katie Smith of Punk Projects here! Today I’m showing you how I made this fun Christmas Cookie Wreath! Christmas is sneaking up, so I decided to start making some Christmas dĂ©cor for my home! My color theme for this year’s Christmas dĂ©cor has bright pinks, lime greens and purple in it for a fun and non-traditional look. I love the look of the 1.5 inch Faux Jute Base w/ Snowflakes, so I added it in with the bright colors as well!

To Create this Beautiful Wreath, Follow the Steps Below:

Step One: Select at least four unique and festive ribbons! Then cut your ribbons into 2’ long pieces.katiesmith_christmaswreath_2

Then take a second ribbon and tie another bow, sliding it up to just below the first.katiesmith_christmaswreath_4Step Three: Continue tying bows around the wreath form until you’ve covered the whole wreath in pretty ribbons!katiesmith_christmaswreath_5Step Four: Add a ribbon to the top of the wreath to hang it, I did this by simply tying a ribbon around the wreath. I also adhered a large bow on to the front.

Step Five: Time to make the cookies! Cut out 2 cookies of each shape from tan felt. Also cut out 2 cookies of each shape from colored felt (for the “frosting”), making them a ¼” smaller than the tan felt shape. Use THIS cookie pattern stencil to help you trace the shapes.

If you don’t like the bright colors, this could also easily be done with more traditional colors. For a more traditional look, just swap the limes and pinks out for red and green ribbons!katiesmith_christmaswreath_1-1
