Winter Rudolph Wreath
by
Albion
I'm one of those people who love to go all out for Christmas. If there's a bare corner in the house, it needs to be decorated. I had a small wall in our entry that needed something special and after a wander of the craft store, I was inspired to make this Winter Rudolph Wreath. I love the white on white with that hint of sparkle and the pop of color from the pinecones and nose.
I started with a plain paper mache deer head and a styrofoam wreath form. I have been slowly filling my house with animals with antlers and this is such a perfect addition!
I took some fluffy white yarn and wrapped it around the wreath form. I used a chunky white. I wanted that extra fluffy look.
I then moved to working on the deer head. I painted the whole thing white.
I added decoupage to the antlers and covered them in Buffalo Snow Flakes. I love the iridescent sparkle!
I painted the face and ears with a coat of silver glitter paint. I wanted just enough for the glitter to sparkle, but not enough to take away from the white.
I glued the head to the wreath once everything was dry.
And then it was time for that awesome pop of color! I found miniature pinecone and berry picks and stuck them straight into the wreath.
I couldn't quite decide if I wanted to keep the red nose or not, so I compromised and used poster putty so that the nose could be easily removed and I could keep the wreath up for the entire winter. I grabbed a red felt ball and stuck it on. I love that this wreath can instantly go from Christmas to winter with one small detail! It's a wreath that my girls and I all love and it makes us smile every time we walk past.
