We love adding some Disney flair to our holiday decorating!
Chip and Co reader, Ashely K. Carnes, shared this easy-to-follow tutorial and fantastic photos for creating a beautiful Mickey Head Bulb Wreath and I can’t wait to make my own!
What you’ll need:
- ONE 18” Biodegradable Floral Craft Ring /EZ Glueable wreath form (see photo example)
- TWO 12” Biodegradable Floral Craft Rings/ EZ Glueable wreath form
- Cable Ties (12″ or larger)
- Garland (any color)
- Glue Gun & Glue Sticks
- Shatterproof Christmas bulbs with metal or plastic top removed
Instruction:
1.Using the rings/wreath form, create a Mickey head. Ear placement is extremely important – otherwise it just doesn’t look like Mickey. About 6 or 6.5 in between the ears (or half the size of the wreath) seems to be a good placement. Secure the smaller wreaths to the larger using the cable ties – making sure they are tight enough so they won’t move.
2. Wrap the garland, snuggly, around the wreath, making sure it is completely covered. Use the hot glue gun to secure each end to the wreath. You’ll need more than one strand of garland, most likely.
3. Create the loop to hang your wreath. Using a cable tie, place it in the center of the Mickey head (between the ears) and pull it tightly. Take another cable tie and loop it through the first, securing it like a chain and giving yourself a way to hang it on a hook once finished.
4. Now it’s time to add the bulbs using the hot glue gun! This is all about how YOU want it to look – all one color, multi-colored, different sizes, etc.. It seems to work best by starting on the inside and outside of the wreathes and filling in from there, like a puzzle!
Please note, this wreath will be VERY heavy. Please keep that in mind when choosing how you want to hang it on the wall (no 2 or 3lb 3M hooks!).
