Bonita Rose: Holiday Tinsel Wreath DIY

You can do this. You can! And what’s really important to mention? You can find most of what you need at your local thrift store! Ready? Here we go!

What you need:

• an old wooden embroidery hoop, 12 inches (I used the 12 inch size, but you can use whatever you have on hand — bigger or smaller, up to you!)
• a package of vintage holiday tinsel (my tinsel was gold, silver and white, use whatever you can find!)
• white paper wire-stemmed roses
• glass glittered star
• silver ornament hook

How to make your wreath!

1. sit comfortably.
2. open up your embroidery hoop and slide one end of the holiday tinsel between the two wood hoops, then screw tight, with the tinsel end attached.
3. loop around your tinsel through and over your hoop until the entire hoop is covered in tinsel. (as you are working, you can smoosh or spread out the tinsel as you see fit, to get the look you want!)
4. when you are nearing the end of your tinsel strand, tuck in the last part of tinsel, and voila!
5. place star on ornament hook and hang from top of wreath.
6. use wire-stemmed white roses and wrap around wreath in bunches of three. No need for glue!

Ta-da!
