1. Gather all of your supplies. You will need foam wreath rings (I used 8 inch rings), gold spray paint, a glue gun and plenty of glue, pinecones of various shapes and sizes, ribbon to hang the wreaths, and cotton sprigs if you wish to add them.
2. Spray paint your wreath rings and let them dry thoroughly.
3. Once the rings are dry, lay out your pattern so you know how many pinecones you’ll need. It’s not an exact science since they are all different shapes and sizes.
4. Apply glue to a section of the wreath ring and start laying the pinecones on top of the glue. Press them down for a few seconds so they stick on the ring.
5. If you have bigger chunks of the foam ring showing through the larger pinecones, you can apply glue to the larger pinecones and add in small pinecones to cover the spots. I found the miniature pinecones on Amazon and they were a lifesaver for those little spots that needed to be filled in.
6. Add in cotton sprigs if you’d like. I found the larger floral piece at the craft store, cut off the cotton, and then glued it on top of the pinecones.
7. Once the wreath looks the way you want it to, thread ribbon through the wreath, tie a ribbon or knot and hang it where you’d like. I have my wreaths hanging on a mirror above the mantel and on the doors in our sunroom.
