Winter Snow Wreath

By Sherri Osborn, About.com Guide

Make this neat decoration using a regular grapevine wreath - submitted by Charlotte.

Materials Needed:

  • Large grapevine wreath
  • 1 Can spray snow
  • 1 strand of white christmas lights
  • Several white paper cutout snowflakes
  • Several snow men
  • Few pieces of plastic pine greenery
  • Poly-fil fiberfill pillow stuffing
  • One large White-silver ribbon
  • Several silver christmas balls (optional)

Instructions:
Wrap lights around the wreath. Put the fiberfill on the bottom-inside of the wreath (only) over the lights,(this when covered with the spray snow will look like mounds of snow). Now take the wreath outside and lean against something to stand it up. Then as if the snow was falling, spray the spray snow down on the wreath. Spray the fiberfill heavily. Don't spray every side, so it will look like it was in a heavy snow. Let dry.

After it dries, hot glue the snow men and little plastic pine greenery on the fiberfil. Then glue the snowflakes all over the wreath in various spots and add the ribbon on the top. I also added several silver christmas balls, around for sparkle. Be very careful not to knock off the snow. When every thing is added, then very lightly spray everything, as if the snow blew on them.

This wreath will not stand up to the weather (rain will wash off the snow) , but did very nicely on my porch. It is quite beautiful when completed and lit-up. It doesn't not store well at all, but the snow will wash off. I just sprayed with my hose, after removing everything.
