Stitch up groups of natural elements to decorate a festive winter wreath that Mother Nature would be proud to display! This project gives you individual elements you can arrange and group as desired for any mixture of wreath greenery and decoration. Stitch up a big pinecone, surrounded by holly, pine branches, leaves with berries, and snowflakes. The rustic, organic finish to the edges has an almost sugar cookie look to the elements. Robin will focus on how to finish the motifs by stitching onto wool felt, fringing edges, and a couple ways of attaching to a grapevine wreath. 

More types of wreath options will be shown or ideas for finishing these motifs into gift tags or other decorations. Think of the designs as a “toolbox” of winter elements to play with in numerous ways.

A few other goodies!

 

KITTED students will still need to provide, on their own:

Wreath base of choice. I’ve used a grapevine 12” wreath.

Any additional greenery or ribbons or other accents you want for your wreath.

Thread to stitch linen to wool- recommend a color similar to the background linen.

Needle for stitching by hand or a sewing machine.

Scissors, large and small

Optional for attaching to wreath- bendable wire, strong thread, or glue gun (more specifics are listed in PDF).

 

If you want to finish along with me, have your prestitching done on at least a few elements.
