How to Make a Picture Frame Wreath for Sports Lovers With Pretzels

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Ginny with Simply Beautiful Crafts on behalf of Expert Village and today I would like to show you how to make this adorable little picture frame for the sports enthusiast in your life. As you can see I have used something other than ribbon to weave through this particular wreath to make it a picture frame, inexpensive white shoe laces. Take the shoe lace and weave it through your wreath starting behind the joint, going over, under, over, under, till you get all the way through and then you want to leave the strings hanging. When you get to the end, then you will obviously have more than you need. So what you want to do is pull this through at the top, make a loop out of one end of it so that it will be all the way through and then just go ahead and cut your excess off. That way you will leave your little ends hanging there and it will be obvious that is the shoe lace. Once you have woven your shoe lace through your wreath, you can take the part that was left over make a bow out of it and attach it at the bottom or the top depending on where you like to put bows on your wreaths. I found buttons and also stickers in the craft section of the store and you can also go into the toy section. A lot of times especially in the party section where they have favors for the kids, you will find these types of things in there. Just lay them on your piece, put them where you want them. There were a lot of them that I did not use on this, like you can see I have buttons and I have stickers, personalize it and then you are going to make a frame for the back. You can do this before or after. I like to actually do it before I start the piece. Take a piece of tag-board or a piece of cardboard and just put it on there until it fits and cut the corners off so that they do not show and then you have your hanger already for it. Glue this on at the bottom and that will leave you some room at the top to slip that picture in of that very special little sports person in your life with a very own personalized Christmas sports wreath."
