Top Tip
Paint and decorate both sides of the wreath if you plan to hang the wreath in a window or from a ceiling where is spins round. The ends of the ribbon attached to card the top can be covered with tape then painted.
How to Make
- Tear off some 12cm masking tape strips then stick them onto a card wreath to completely cover it.
- Press the tape over the inside and outside edges, smoothing it down over the card. It takes around 20 strips to cover a wreath.
- Paint the wreath purple and leave it to dry. Add a second coat of paint if necessary.
- Use a purple paint pen to draw decorative patterns onto the wreath. Leave to dry.
- Cut out a silver moon shape (9cm diameter) from silver card. Draw around the moon to make a matching shape then cut it out.
- Cut out a star shape (7 cm diameter) from silver card. Draw around the star to make another 5-6 star shapes.
- Make more stars in smaller different sizes (5cm diameter) to vary the scale, or make bigger stars if you prefer.
- Use a purple paint pen to draw decorative patterns onto the moon and stars. Leave to dry.
- To hang the moon in the middle of the wreath, brush glue over the reverse (white) side of a card moon, place an 8cm piece of thin ribbon at the top then press the matching moon on top, with the ribbon sandwiched in the middle.
- Tape or glue the end of the ribbon on the back of the wreath.
- Check the moon is centrally positioned in the middle of the wreath.
- Glue the stars onto the wreath.
- Tape a loop of silver ribbon at the top of the wreath, on the reverse side.
- Hold the wreath with the ribbon loop to check the moon is hanging the middle, if it tips to one side, re-position the hanging loop.
