Most horse lovers like to decorate their stalls in December and bring some Christmas spirit into their barn. For years I wanted to have a horse wreath but I thought this would be very complicated. Until I decided to go for it! It turned out to be only a 30- minute (no mess) Do-It-Yourself project.
This project is great for adult horse lovers and is also very suitable for children (supervised). You can make this wreath in 6 simple steps. You can find the instruction video at the end of this blog.
Supplies for your Horse Wreath
- Pliers
- Tongs
- Two metal coat hangers (frame)
- Chenille stems (frame)
- Guirlande (garland 2,4 metres)
- Glitter flower decoration (eye)
- Glitter pinnacle decoration (mane)
- Ribbon (bridle)
- Wreath hanger
Instructions (6 simple steps)
1. Straighten the coat hangers with pliers.
2. Shape the hangers into a horse head.
3. Make a frame with the chenille stems to attach the guirlande onto.
4. Cut the guirlande into the length of the frame and weave it through the chenille stem frame.
5. Make an eye from the floral decoration and attach the wire to the frame.
6. Form the mane from the glitter pinnacles. Make a bridle with coloured ribbon or a golden garland.
