I come to you once again, with a wreath. This is probably my favorite. I love Santa belt decorations. I don't have nearly enough, so when I saw an idea to do a Santa belt wreath on Pinterest, I knew I had to make one of my own.
It was super simple.
All you need is:
wreath form (I know some people get the Styrofoam ones, but I prefer the straw ones that are wrapped in plastic. They are sturdier and cheaper)
red yarn
black felt
something to make the belt loop (I found some self-adhering shimmery stones)
hot glue gun
You just wrap the wreath form in the yarn, cut out a long strip of black felt for the belt and glue it on to the wreath. After that I figured out the center of the belt, and put on the stones in the shape of a belt buckle. BAM! Ya got yourself a Santa belt wreath!
I've thought about putting a "Ho Ho Ho" or something on there, but sick kids have drained all creative juices the last few days.
And maybe I'll post again in another 3 months with another wreath.

Yes, Abbey! It was your blog! Thanks for the link. When I posted it, I was in a hurry and had 2 kids screaming at me, so I didn't have the time to look up your link on Pinterest!

This is an awesome wreath! I saw it featured on Lookie what I did's facebook. Very cute!! Santa belt decorations crack me up!
I would love for you to share this at my friday link party if you get a chance!
Look at you and your million comments!! It is super cute. I always see the straw wreaths at garage sales/thrift stores and am super tempted to buy them for all of the future wreaths I will surely make one day! But since I haven't even made the one wreath I bought stuff for umm... 2 years ago, it's probably best that I don't.
Cute wreath. So glad I introduced pinterest to you! :)
