Extravagant Wreaths
that we can make
at home!
Magnolia leaves are painted with a thick coat
of metallic paint and then sprinkled
with glitter & beads
The wreath is wrapped with metallic mesh
in coordinating colors and the leaves
and fruit are wired to floral picks
and attached to the base
Steve added pointsettias in both orange & purple
Gorgeous!
Steve taught us the art of making a beautiful bow

Steve taught us the art of making a beautiful bow
1. Always buy wired ribbon (sheer is wonderful)
2. Make a small center loop and larger outer loops - you want at least 5 or 6 on each side. When using one-sided ribbon, you need to twist & loop.
3. Cut another length of ribbon and tie around the center to anchor the loops and add tails to the bow. Cut the ends at an angle & you're done!

Chrystal Colon and Linda Ruiz

One of the jeweled fruit ornaments
Steve Lippert demonstrates how you can take simple magnolia leaves and make them shimmer
Pam Herbert shows us how they sparkle!
Laurie Frampton hangs her jeweled fruit ornament
Steve sprayed branches from various shrubbery with
metallic gold and metallic lime green paint
and pushed them into place to add sparkle to the tree
Julie Marshall twists the ribbons that Steve is
adding - this helps fill in the holes
Topped with a star - Dazzling!
Thank you Steve~
