CHRISTMAS // santa wreath from scraps

This is my FIRST EVER VIDEO TUTORIAL! Woohoo! Way to step up my game, right??? 

​Please excuse the shakey cam and the cut off beard. It's a learning process and a work in progress. 

WHAT YOU NEED: 

1. Wreath form of sorts.  Mine was metal, just because I had it left over. 
2. Hot glue gun and glue sticks. Surprisingly, I only used one glue stick for this entire project...talk about overkill...
3. White/cream fabric scraps cut into strips. I had these left over from a sewn scarf. 
4. Dollar tree Santa hat

Well, what'd you think? I'm thinking it isn't too shabby for an impromptu first attempt at a video tutorial!

​Here's how I jimmy-rigged it:

If you want the play-by-play: 

I started by placing my hat on my wreath form to know how far your beard should go. I put it on like a hat, but I suppose you could just glue it flat to the wreath if your from is too big? Try it and let me know. 

Next: get to gluing those scraps down! Personally, I love hot glue. Some people are really awful at it. Don't be awful, and don't burn yourself. It's a delicate art. 

After I got about halfway done with the beard, I decided to go ahead and glue my hat down. I glued the insides shut. 

My little santa was looking weird without a mustache. I fiddled and found the longest scrap I had to reach across and connect. 

Then I decided he needed some eyeware....

Seriously though, everyone has a pair of these laying around the house somewhere, right? Or am I just a hoarder? 

Punch out those 3D glasses and rip off those ear pieces! 

Add a little hot glue....

and hold them in place! 

In hindsight, I wish I had thought to use fishing line to hang the glasses in the middle of his face...in a pench, this will do. 

I hope you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! ​
