Get a first-frost look with a simple paint treatment. Step 1: Choose a Fruit with pinecone wreath (#155798) with no attached lighting, or update a wreath that you have on hand from past holidays. Step 2: Spray the wreath with one coat of Valspar White Gloss spray paint (#282276, #244114); let dry. To create the flocked look shown here, spray the wreath with one to two coats of orange-peel ceiling texture paint (#186556). Allow to dry. Step 3: Lightly spray a pinecone Ting Ting decorative pick (#160028) with Valspar Metallic Gold spray paint (#282320, #282734). Let dry. Step 4: Tie white ribbon (#137377) into a bow, and secure with 22-gauge wire (#62940). Attach a Gold swirl (#63646) to the white ribbon using wire. Secure the swirl to the wreath's metal frame using wire. Separate the pinecones from the pick, and attach to the swirl. |

Make it fun with bright colors and a little bling. Welcome guests with a wreath that reflects your style, whether traditional, whimsical, or somewhere in between. Good To Know Step 1: Select a 30" pine wreath (#267523) with LED lights. Choose an assortment of small and large round silver ornaments (#159243). |

Step 2: Cut a 12-inch piece of 22-gauge wire (#62940) for each ornament, and loop it through the ornament's hanger. Step 3: Spray-paint the ornaments with your desired color; we used Premium Satin Everglade (#282369) and Royal Blue (#282302). |

Step 4: Wrap the wire around the wreath's metal frame to secure the ornaments. Step 5: Add gold or silver ornaments (#116510) painted in coordinating colors and Ting Tings, white/silver sprays, (#160083) to the wreath. |

Use red ribbon to link two wreaths. Step 1: Select large and small live wreaths. Step 2: Use utility scissors to cut one end of a strand of Sugared fruit garland (#138061). Slide the apples off the garland; set aside. Cut an 8-inch piece of 24-gauge wire (#52686) for each apple. Step 3: Thread a piece of wire through the hole in each apple, and use the wire to secure to the wreath. (If necessary, use a large nail to widen the holes in the apples for the wire.) Step 4: Cut a length of assorted wire ribbon (#54161), depending on how far apart you would like the wreaths to hang. Loop the ribbon through the center of each wreath, and tie in a knot at the back to secure. |

Turn Christmas tree trimmings into a one-of-a-kind wreath. Step 1: Gather six pieces of trimmings from your live Christmas tree. Use shears to cut the pieces to the desired lengths (ours measure approximately 13 inches). Step 2: On a workspace, place two sprigs face down and end to end. Cut a length of 9-gauge wire (#52685) that measures 2 inches longer than the span of the two sprigs (ours is 28 inches). The wire will serve as a spine for the wreath. Using pliers, create a loop at one end of the wire. Step 3: Lay the wire on top of the sprigs with the loop flush with one end. Use 22-gauge wire (#62940) to secure the sprigs to the 9-gauge wire at various points. Step 4: Use the 22-gauge wire to secure the remaining four sprigs to the 9-gauge wire in an X pattern as shown. Step 5: Add evergreen sprigs, such as boxwood and pine clippings, to the front of the wreath near the center using 22-gauge wire. Step 6: If desired, use jute twine (#66510) to add a 3 pack clear glass finial ornament (#137427) near the center of the wreath. |

HANG IT UP Wooden: Use a hook and nail for a wooden door. Be sure to check the packaging for the weight restrictions. Metal and Fiberglass: Over-the-door wreath hangers (found in the seasonal living department) work well for these types of doors. Glass: Consider using a suction-cup hook (#168540) to hang your wreath on a glass door. These hooks are also great for windows. Brick: Use a masonry bit to predrill a hole into the mortar. Attach a hook to the mortar using a lead or plastic screw anchor. |
