How To Make A Baby Wreath For Hospital Door

Today I want to share the merry wreath I made for my new grandson’s hospital door, and later for the daycare at home. It fits the nursery’s ‘Little Explorer’ theme! The supplies needed for this project are: Read: how to make a wreath for a baby in front of the hospital

Wide mesh ribbon
Sign Ribbons
Chenille pipe cleaner in desired color
Unfinished wooden plaques, letters and frames
Map or any patterned paper
Blackboard spray paint
Opaque paint pen
Acrylic paint
Mod Podge

Before making the wreath, you may want to first draw pictures, etc. I don’t, but if I did, it would save some time. First, trace the shape of the plaque and cut that shape out of a map or whatever paper you want (scrapbook, wrapping, book pages, sheet music, etc.).Paint around the edges of the plaque. This process may take 2 coats of paint, as this is most likely balsa wood and is very absorbent.Read more: How to start drawing wild animals and make your life happier Paint two coats of paint on the frame and the letters of the baby’s name.Add a layer of Mod Podge to the back of the map Cut out and immediately stick to the plaque. Then, apply another layer of MP over the plaque, right on the map (Mod Podge will dry and create a nice protective layer).Work quickly, arrange the letters on the board as you like. Let dry a bit, until the letters are set. afterward put a whiteboard finish on the letters and all. Also apply a coat or two of Mod Podge to the frame for a more protective finish. Let topqa.info do a separate step, spray paint to insert cardboard from the frame with a light coat of chalkboard paint. When dry, spray a light second coat of paint.To make the wreath, Cut some pipe cleaners in half and twist them evenly over the wreath pattern. Attach one end of the wide mesh ribbon to the sample using a pipe cleaner. Start creating loops by collecting and ‘pinching in’ every 8-10 inches. Twist to clean the next pipeand so on until you have gone all the way. This will take up the entire 10-yard roll of ribbon.Weave loops of accented ribbon through, getting caught in a few twists of a pipe cleaner that is still open.Attach the frame to the bottom of the wreath. Simply loop the ribbon through the bottom of the wire garland pattern and attach the ends to the back of the frame with a glue gun.Attach the board with the baby’s name to the center of the wreath in the same way… with the ribbon hanging from the top of the pattern (I have wax paper underneath the board to protect the wreath from any possible hot glue. stick to it).
