Have you tried to recreate anything from Pinterest? I get so inspired from all the pretty things and creative ideas on it. I thought I'd try my hand at making one of the projects I saw. I just adore pearls. Pearl on anything and I'm sold.
So here is my take on this pretty little thing.
Supplies:
Foam wreath form. I used a 12 inch.
Imitation pearls of all different sizes
Wide white ribbon
Hot glue gun & sticks
Start with a dab of hot glue to secure your ribbon.
Start wrapping the ribbon around the wreath form.
Keep going.
Add hot glue every few loops around.
Cover the entire wreath form with ribbon.
Pour out a variety of different size pearls. This is the best way to make sure you aren't subconsciously making a pattern out of pearls so it looks more random.
I worked in little sections of hot glue instead of putting a dab for every solitary pearl.
I might have started singing my hallelujah song at this point. This project does take a little bit of patience but it is SO pretty at the end.
Add some ribbon & hang it. This one is going on the gallery wall I'm putting together in my daughters room.
It would make a gorgeous Christmas Holiday wreath with some more festive ribbon.
Cute wreath! My cousin made pearl covered foam balls (hanging from ribbon) for her bridesmaids to carry instead of flowers...this reminds me of that! I made a wreath of red, green, and gold ornaments this past weekend--inspired by Pinterest of course! I love getting ideas from there :)

Beautiful! I found you through TT&J, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteLooks GREAT!! I pinned the same wreath on my pinterest board, I just haven't made it yet! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteHey where did you buy your pearls that you used? I am wanting to try this but not sure where to get them in bulk like that?
ReplyDeleteI made a beautiful pearl wreath, but the pearls keep falling off Everytime we open & shut the door. Any solution, pearls aren't cheap. Help
ReplyDeleteLove love love it! I purchased a similar wreath from HomeGoods - hung it on my front door @ the Holidays for several years - I should I checked the hook on the back the last year I hung it up - it broke & hit the floor busting some of the pears - I wanted to cry - I have never seen another one for sale - I guess it’s time for me to channel my inner Martha Stewart
ReplyDeleteI made 2! One for my daughter and one for me. They came out so beautful!!
