SU Stars Blog Hop

Welcome to SU Stars Holiday and Winter Home Decor Blog Hop!

I made this bulge wreath for my hubby to put in his area at work. Just a little holiday decoration that was more on the masculine side.

I started out by cutting 2 1/2 squares of designer paper. I used Frostwood Lodge paper from the Holiday mini. You need a total of 14 pieces of 2 1/2 squares.
For the base of the wreath I used white cardstock cut using the scallop circle Sizzix die. After cutting the squares I ran them over the edge of my craft table to break the fibers a bit. Makes it much easier to roll the squares into the bulge shape. After rolling I glued them together using a low temp glue gun.

Here you can see how the completed bugles were glued around the scallop circle base. For the center of the wreath I used Cherry Cobbler punched with 2 1/2 circle punch. Stamped the deer from Nature Silhouettes in Early Espresso, and used simple masking to add the tree from Lovely as a Tree in Garden Green. Word "Merry" is from Tiny Tags, and inked with Cherry Cobbler. I added a bow using Early Espresso quilted satin ribbon, and gold antique brad. Hanger was glued to top back of wreath also using the quilted ribbon.

Finished size of this wreath is about 7 x 7.
