It’s finally starting to feel like fall in Tennessee and according to the calendar, we are officially in the fall season! What better way to celebrate than with Mickey wreath?!
All you need is 1 24 inch grapevine wreath and 2 smaller grapevine wreaths for the ears. I’m not sure what size my ears were, but they’re probably 6 or 8 inches. It’s honestly a preference thing, depending on how you want your wreath to look.
I also used:
- floral wire
- hot glue
- burlap ribbon
- artificial flowers/greenery/pumpkins
I attached the ears to the main wreath by wrapping a long piece of wire under where the ears connect and then pulled tight, twisted them around each other a few times, then wrapped the excess back around to tie on the back of the wreath.
I did this 3 times for each ear, that way the ear was more stable and not as wobbly.
Once you’re done, both ears should look something like this. Of course, I will use greenery and pumpkins to cover the wire so it’s not visible!
Next is the burlap ribbon. You don’t have to add this, but I already had this buffalo check ribbon in my supplies and wanted to try it and see what it looked like! I was pretty happy with how it turned out!
Once I figured out where I wanted the ribbon to start, I wrapped it around the back and hot glued the end to the back of the wreath. The ribbon I used was pretty wide, so I folded it in half and kind of twisted it to get the look that I wanted.
Once I wrapped it around like I wanted, I cut the ribbon and hot glued the excess behind the wreath. It doesn’t have to be pretty, no one will see the back of it!
Last but not least, all that’s left is to fill in the exposed grapevine spaces with your greenery and pumpkins! I had to hot glue some pieces that didn’t have long stems, but the pumpkins had long stems so I was able to just stick those in the wreath! They’ll stay pretty good! That’s what I love about the grapevine wreaths!
My other tip is, you only have to buy one or two bundles of greenery or flowers. You can cut the individual stems off the main bunch and disperse them over the whole wreath! And of course, you want to make sure that you cover the wreath wire as much as possible! I made this on the floor and then once I was finished, I hung it up and was able to see spots that I had missed!
I’m so happy with how it turned out? Have you ever made a Mickey wreath before? Let me know what you think in the comments and please, don’t hesitate to ask me any questions!
