What You Need
-1 Styrofoam Wreath Form
-1/4 yard Green Felt
-55 Green Pipe Cleaners
-55 White Pipe Cleaners
-4 cardstock baseballs
-1/2 yard ribbon
-scissors
-hot glue gun
Step by Step Instructions
1.Start by wrapping the wreath form in batting. This will give the wreath a nice cushion and make it easier to work with.
2.Wrap the entire form in ribbon, making sure to wrap tightly and overlapping as you go. You can use any type of ribbon, but I like to use wired ribbon so it’s easier to work with.
3.Once the form is completely wrapped, begin hot gluing on the baseballs. Overlap them slightly as you go around the wreath, and glue them in place securely.
4.Continue until the entire wreath is covered in baseballs. You can add a bow or other embellishments if you’d like, but I think it looks great just as it is!
Tips and Tricks
Before you begin, be sure to have all of your supplies on hand. This will make the process go much smoother. You will need a styrofoam wreath form, a hot glue gun and glue sticks, scissors, ribbon, and baseballs. It is also helpful to have a friend or family member nearby to help with the hot glue gun.
Cutting the ribbon can be time consuming, so it is helpful to do this before you begin gluing everything together. You will need approximately 2 yards of ribbon for every 1 foot of wreath. For example, if you are using a 12-inch wreath form, you will need 24 yards of ribbon. Cut the ribbon into strips that are 18-24 inches long.
Once you have all of your supplies ready, it is time to start gluing! Begin by attaching the ribbon strips to the wreath form with hot glue. It is helpful to start in the middle of the wreath and work your way out. Continue until the entire wreath form is covered in ribbon.
Next, it is time to add the baseballs! Start by adding a band of baseballs around the edge of the wreath. Once you have done that, fill in the rest of the wreath with additional baseballs until it is completely covered.
Finally, add a ribbon loop to the back of the wreath so that it can be hung on a door or wall. Your baseball wreath is now complete!
Conclusion
In conclusion, making a baseball wreath is a fun and easy project that can be done in an afternoon. With a few simple supplies and a little bit of creativity, you can create a beautiful and unique decoration for your home or office.
