Pumpkin Wreath
Supplies
Wire
wreath form
Mini pumpkins to cover the form
20-gauge wire
Dried moss
Hot-glue gun
Electric drill with various size bits
Black ribbon (grosgrain, satin, or raffia)
Directions
Start by drilling holes (from side-to-side) through each mini pumpkin.
We used a cordless variable-speed drill with a 9/64-inch bit.
Position the holes toward the bottom of the pumpkin where they will be
less visible.
Thread a
20-gauge wire through one of the pumpkin holes.
Place the pumpkin on the wire wreath form so the wire is
perpendicular to the form.
Bend the wires
around the back of the form and twist them securely onto the form.
Continue wiring pumpkins to the form until it is covered.
Fill spaces between
pumpkins with bits of dry moss, using wire or hot glue to attach it.
Make a hanging loop
with an 8-inch length of wire and twist it securely to the top of the wire
form.
Finish off with a
black bow that's been tied or wired to the top of the wreath.
