Picture Frame Christmas Wreath
Smart School House wishes you a happy holiday! All things are being decorated in our halls. Christmas. Our decor has a rustic twist this year. Today, we will show you how to create this rustic picture frame. ChristmasYou only need a few basic craft materials to make this wreath. It looks so pretty on our front door and I love that it cost way less to make than some of the super expensive pre-made wreaths I’ve purchased in the past. A picture frame wreath can be made from an empty picture frame. It hangs on a wreath hook (just like a regular wreath). They add charm and style to your front doors with their unique design. Let’s get started, shall we?
Supply Needed
- A picture frame that is unfinished (or made from reclaimed lumber). Hobby Lobby sold this unfinished picture frame. It didn’t come with glass or backing, which was great! If you can’t find an empty frame to purchase, just purchase a regular frame (or reuse one you have), then remove the glass and backing.
- “Rustic” ornaments. These ornaments can be found at most craft stores right now. These rustic ornaments can be made with burlap, twine or greenery. You can choose one or two wreath styles. I picked red & black plaid and twine ornaments with some greenery.
- The bow is the final touch. Hobby Lobby has a burlap bow that I made.
- Glue gun.
- Twine, festive strings, or ChristmasDepending on which ornaments you select, ribbon may be used. The ornaments I picked had a short twine string on each one that wasn’t long enough. I purchased extra matching twine to make the ornaments hang longer.
- Wreath hanger. These can be purchased at any hardware or craft store. The one in chalkboard is Pier One.
You will be amazed at how simple it is to put together a picture frame wreath.
Directions
- You can tie extra ribbon or twine depending on which ornaments you choose to make sure they are long enough in the frame (as shown in the video).
- Ornaments can be arranged in any way you prefer. The plaid ornaments were placed above the twine ornaments. I used a total 5 ornaments. It’s best if the ornaments all fit within the size of your frame.
- Hot glue the hanging ornaments on the back of your frame.
- The wreath hanger can be used to hang the picture frame. Attach the big bow to hang the frame just above it.
It is adorable! It will also last through January, which I secretly love.
