Materials:
straw or foam wreath (12" to 18")
several plastic or real money plant stems
plastic or real plant branches sprayed gold or silver
sand dollar
5 yards gold ribbon
5 yards silver ribbon
gold spray paint
silver spray paint
hot glue gun
floral pins
floral wire
clippers
wire cutters
picture frame hanger
Steps:
- Create a sturdy hanger by wrapping floral wire well under the foam or straw of the wreath.
- Spray the entire wreath with gold and silver paint. Dust lightly with spray paint to cover more completely.
- Once the spray paint is dry, wrap the wreath with the silver ribbon, followed by the gold ribbon. The idea is to leave just a hint of the underlying base revealed so that some of the paint can be seen. Secure the ends with floral pins.
- Spray the money plant gold or silver as desired. Attach several sprigs of the plant evenly around the wreath using floral pins.
- Repeat Step 4 using the other branches of other types of plants (figure A).
- Use floral wire to suspend the sand dollar from the center of wreath, or hang it from the bottom of the wreath (figure B).
- Attach to wall or door using an adequate picture frame hanger.
The idea is to create a theme for the wreath by attaching money or wealth-related items. Use your imagination and related knickknacks by hot gluing or wiring them into place.
