White and Silver Paper Doily Wreath

I finally finished this wreath. It's been sitting on my counter, unfinished, for a few weeks making my husband nervous in all its whiteness. It was right near where my kids pour their drinks. Talk about living on the edge!

My inspiration came from this wreath at Diamond in the Stuff's blog. Where did I find it? Pinterest, of course!!

Instructions and sources:
1. Using a styrofoam wreath, wrap with wide satin ribbon.
2. Attach a wide ribbon for hanging before gluing the cones down. I did this at the end (after the cones were glued down) and it was tricky. :)
3. Make lots of cones out of doilies. Instructions here. Secure them with hot glue. Don't burn yourself! You will need approximately 60 doilies if you want to replicate my wreath.
3. Glue the cones to the wreath using hot glue. I did 2 layers of cones.
4. Select something for the centre. I used a doily die cut from Martha Stewart's craft line. This is very similar. I glittered the edges. On top of that I glued a small silver doily. On top of that I glued a snowflake sticker (Jolee's boutique). Glue your centre into the middle of the wreath.
6. Hang and admire. :)
