DIY Snowman Rag Wreath
Wrap the ribbon around the wreath form.
First, wrap the ribbon completely around the wreath form.
Apply hot glue to a 2-inch section on one side of the wreath form.
Attach one end of the ribbon to the wreath form with the glue.
Wrap the ribbon completely around the wreath, slightly overlapping.
Apply hot glue to secure the end of the ribbon to the wreath.
Add the floral decorations
Cut the stems of the floral decoration so you have 3 pieces. This may vary depending on what kind of floral decoration you have. It’s usually easiest to cut the stem into smaller pieces, trimming off the ends. Arrange how you like them.
Glue 3 of the pieces on the left side of the wreath. You can use more or less depending on what you prefer.
Add gnomes to the wreath
We used gnome picks. But you could use any kind of small gnomes you can find like ornaments or garden decorations. Just make sure they are small and light enough to glue on. If using picks, break the wooden picks off the gnomes.
Glue one gnome to the wreath near the bottom of the floral pieces to cover up the stems.
Hot glue the other gnome to the other side of the wreath.
You can attach a ribbon or string to hang the wreath. You can also easily change the colors and gnomes to make wreaths for all different seasons.
