Reindeer Wreaths

What you’ll need:

24-inch pre-lit Winslow wreath

Martha Stewart Winter Tidings Collection shatterproof ornaments – 101-pack, 51-pack or 75-pack (for red ornament for nose)

14-gauge wire

wire cutters pliers

sisal rope

small zip ties

small chip brush

white glue

How to do it:

1. Straighten and fluff the branches of the wreath until full. Cut two 50-inch pieces of wire. Fold one wire in half and bend to create antler shape, following template here. Crimp points with pliers. Repeat for second antler.

2. Cut four 60-inch pieces of rope. Place two pieces together and fold in half. Starting at the top of the antler, secure rope tightly with a zip tie. Wrap rope around wire to hide it, splitting as needed for antler branches and securing at every joint with zip ties. Continue to cover, leaving bottom six inches unwrapped.

3.  Using a chip brush, paint the rope with glue, soaking it heavily and avoiding zip ties. Hang until rope is rigid and completely dry. Repeat with second antler.

4. Cut off zip ties with wire cutters and trim excess rope ends. Use more zip ties to attach antlers tightly to the back side of the wreath frame. Wire a red ornament for the nose to the bottom of the wreath frame.
