Wreath

Wreaths aren’t just for Christmas! The ribbon and pink bird add just the right amount of whimsy to this project. This would make a lovely housewarming gift.

You will need:

* 6 (1.5" × 12") strips of muslin

* 12" Styrofoam wreath base

* Hot glue gun

* About 120 wine corks

* Variety of decorative mosses (found in craft stores)

* Feather bird decoration (found in craft stores)

*  1⁄8" wide ribbon (2 yards)

* 2 (8mm) screw eyes

* Picture hanging wire

Wrap muslin around the wreath and use hot glue to secure. (The muslin has a better surface for the corks to adhere to.)

Place the wreath base on a table and glue corks in a row along the inside at the bottom of the base—the smallest circle shown. (The back of this wreath will be flat.) Repeat for the outside bottom of the base (the second-to-largest circle).

For the outermost row, glue corks perpendicular to the base, as shown.

For the rest of the wreath, return to gluing rows of corks lengthwise until you have covered the whole wreath. You may need to adjust spacing to make sure there are no large gaps.

Form a little nest with moss and glue into place. Glue the bird to the center of the nest.
