Here's a wreath with your name on it perfect for the front door all winter long.
A faux evergreen wreath becomes woodsy and personalized with your last name in birch wood slices.
I love going down the craft supply aisle at Dollar Tree, especially when they get the “new season” items in stock. I put two packages of these birch tree slices in my basket wondering if I could make a faux wood burning craft. The last thing I need is an actual wood burning iron, but I like the rustic look of wood burning! I found a fantastic font that was “wood burning-esque” on 1001 Fonts.com and printed out the font sample.
Step One: Cut out each letter and use Dishwasher Safe ModPodge to adhere the letter plus cover the whole top of the slice so it will be weatherproof. After the ModPodge is completely dry, use a felt pen to darken the letter to make it look wood burned.
Step Two: Cut a 12″ piece of 20 gauge black annealed wire for each wood slice and swirl one end. Use two staples (I used my heavy duty staple gun) to secure the wire to the wood slice.
Step Three: Attach each letter to the evergreen wreath by wrapping and twisting the letters into line.
Step Four: After your name is in place, decorate the rest of the wreath. I kept mine simple with a few pine cones and a faux birch leaf.
