How to Make a Poly-Filled Wreath

Create a plush wreath using Poly-fil

Poly-fil brand stuffing and batting can be used to create plush wreaths for any time of year. Fairfield, the company that manufactures Poly-fil, offers synthetic and natural versions of the product for any type of wreath. Batting is generally used for quilts and comes in a long sheet while Fiberfill stuffing looks similar to cotton candy and comes packaged in a plastic bag. Stuffing is also available in bead form, but beads can be difficult to work with in a wreath. For best results use quilting batting or Fiberfill stuffing for your wreath.

Things You'll Need

• Poly-fil batting or stuffing
• Wreath form
• Fabric
• Ribbon
• Hot glue gun or needle and thread
• Embellishments

Instructions

1. Purchase a pre-made wreath form from a craft supply store or strip down an old wreath to reuse its form.

2. Wrap Poly-fill batting or stuffing around the form to create a plush wreath. Add as much batting or stuffing as needed to get the desired shape.

3. Pull fabric tight over the Poly-fil and glue or sew it securely in the back of the wreath. Alternately you can wrap wide ribbon around the Poly-fil and wreath form and secure it at the back of the wreath.

4. Add embellishments as desired. Use a needle and thread or a hot glue gun to attach flowers, beads, bows or any other embellishments to your wreath.

5. Glue or sew a small piece of ribbon to the back of the wreath for hanging. Allow glue to dry if necessary and hang the finished wreath on a door or wall.
