⎨Eye-cathcing and super fun!⎬
I made this wreath and posted it on my former blog nine years ago! WOW! It has sparked the interest of many of my readers! So, since my old blog is no longer public, here it is, once again.
It’s a quick project- you just need to be patient while it’s in the freezer! :)
It’s a super easy craft that you can make to surprise and welcome your guests… Of course, you can prepare this wreath in advance, but be sure not to display it until the very last minute if you don’t live in a place with polar temperatures- because, obviously… it tends to melt! LOL
For my ice wreath I used natural elements and greenery from the garden, burlap and twine, and a few tiny glass baubles. But you can use whatever you want!
Should you fancy, you can display it as an outdoor centerpiece, too. I tried to use it indoors but it melts too quickly, so I don’t recomment that to avoid annoying mess when your guests arrive.
Step-by-step Instructions
- Gather your supplies: small pinecones, cinnamon sticks, star anise, acorns, fir boughs, and a circular shaped mold with a hole in the middle.
- Place the pinecones, cinnamon sticks, etc. in the mold.
- Cover with fir branches.
- Fill in with water.
- As the small elements tend to float around, position them underneath the fir boughs.
- Freeze overnight.
- To remove the wreath from the mold, put under warm water for a few seconds.
- Use a ribbon or piece of twine or string to hang it- and embellish it with ribbons, fir branches, baubles.
