DIY Olaf Wreath

Supplies Needed:

white foam wreath form

white glitter tulle on the roll

2″ wide grossgrain ribbon

craft foam-white, orange, and black

2 googly eyes

1 black chenille stem

1 brown chenille stem

snowflake ornaments, or buttons

craft paper tag

black, red, and white markers or paint pens

hot glue gun/glue

Directions:

Wrap tulle ribbon loosely around foam wreath form, secure ends with hot glue-be careful not to touch metal tip of gun to foam or it              will melt it.

Wrap glue in ribbon of your choice, it can be a solid or patterned in a “wintery” color, secure in back with glue.

Randomly glue on snowflake embellishments.

Cut the following pieces from craft foam- 2 small round circles for “feet” , a small orange carrot nose, a  black mouth, white tooth, and Olaf’s head about 2″ tall- to do the head I just kept looking at him on the movie to get the general shape.

Cut 3-4″ off a brown chenille stem,  use the small piece you cut off to wrap around and form hands on the opposite ends of the large piece.

Cut 3 short pieces of hair from black chenille stem.

 Cut 3-4″ off a brown chenille stem,  use the small piece you cut off to wrap around and form hands on the opposite ends of the large piece.

Wrap arms around bottom of wreath, secure with hot glue.

Assemble Olaf’s face like this

When you have it like you want it, glue it down.

Attach to the inside back of the wreath as if he was peeking around.

Hot glue his feet to the front like the are wrapped around from behind.

Add a fun tag- I wrote Warm Hugs Welcome and decorated it with x’s and snowflakes, tie to wreath.

Create a hanger but cutting a 12″ length of tulle ribbon, wrapping it around top of wreath and tying it off in a knot.
