Buffalo check magnolia spray
Buffalo check Merry Christmas craft pick
Scissors
Directions
- Grab your buffalo check magnolia spray and start by fluffing it how you like, starting with the flower, and working your way through the greenery. When you are fluffing it out, try to give each piece of the spray its own little area.
- Next, take your wire cutters and clip them towards the middle of your buffalo check magnolia spray, which will give you two sprays, one with the buffalo check magnolia and the other with the pine greenery. Go ahead and set that to the side.
- Try placing the magnolia spray diagonally towards the bottom of the snowman, making sure that the stem covers the glue spot left from removing the scarf earlier. Grab your Merry Christmas craft pick and clip off one Merry Christmas circle and set it aside.
- Now you’re ready to place the rest of the Merry Christmas craft pick by sliding the stem behind the magnolia spray on the Snowman Door Hanger. You’ll want the Merry Christmas signs to be upright coming out next to the Snowman’s face.
- Grab the pine greenery you clipped from the magnolia spray earlier, and clip off one more piece of the pine. You can use this a little bit later. Place the rest of the magnolia spray behind the Merry Christmas craft pick to make it a bit more full.
- Holding it all together with your fingers, take craft picks and sprays you’ve arranged on the Snowman to the side and turn them over. Trim any extra stems off with your wire cutters and grab some cable ties. Secure all of the craft stems and picks together with your cable ties, and trim the extra.
- Now you are ready to place your bundle of craft pics onto the Snowman! Try to place the center near the middle of the Snowman, making sure the weight is evenly distributed, laying them diagonally across the front of the Snowman.
- Grab the pine greenery you clipped from the magnolia spray earlier, and clip off one
- When you like the placement of the craft picks, take your awl and mark two holes, one on either side of the middle of the craft pick bundle. Remove the picks and use the awl to poke through the Snowman where you marked your two holes. Keep rotating your awl when you are making your holes to make sure you get through the batting of the Snowman.
- Before you remove the awl, you can take two fingers on either side of the hole to push down on the Snowman. This should make it easier to then grab a cable tie and thread it through the hole and layers of batting.
- Do the same thing using your awl to make your second hole on your Snowman. Next, grab the end of the cable tie from the back of your Snowman and thread it through to the front of your Snowman. Now you have one cable tie going through to the back of one hole, and back through to the front.
- Now you can secure the craft pick bundle using this cable tie! Place it in the middle of the Snowman and secure the cable tie nice and tight. Then clip the end off using your wire cutters.
- Next, we are going to make a bow to cover up that cable tie in the middle of our Snowman. Take the end of the ribbon and measure starting from the bottom of the pine spray up to the center of the Snowman. Twist the ribbon at that center spot of the Snowman letting the rest of it hang down to the end of the greenery.
- Grab above the twist and make a simple loop that measures the width of the Snowman’s body. Pull it back to the center and twist it together. Make another loop with the ribbon on the other side, bring it back to the center and scrunch it together. Let the tails hang to see if you are happy with the length and look of your bow.
- Cut both tails of the ribbon evenly while you are still holding the center of the bow together. Secure the center of the bow with a cable tie, but add a back cable tie in the loop before securing the center of the bow all the way down. This is what you’ll use to attach the bow to the Snowman.
- Go ahead now and cut a 12-inch piece of ribbon and fold it on itself lengthwise until you get the pattern you want. Tie it around the center of your bow to hide the cable tie holding it together. Turn it over to cut off any excess ribbon.
- Now you’re ready to place the bow over the attachment area on your Snowman! Slip the bow cable tie underneath the craft pick cluster and tie it in there. Clip any excess cable tie with wire cutters.
- Fluff up any sprays, picks, and magnolia to your liking. Also, use your fingers to curl the bottom of the ribbon tails just to add a little bounce to your bow.
- Now on to the hat! Clip off a pine cluster from your leftover Merry Christmas craft pick and place it in the center of the hat so the greenery sticks up towards the left. Grab one more small cluster of greenery and place it starting at the same place but going up towards the right.
- Make any adjustments you need and enjoy your cute door hanger
