This wreath will leave you feeling minty fresh!
Super easy {and inexpensive} to make and it is simply adorable. I have seen several mint wreaths this season on pinterest, but one of my favorites was THIS ONE over at Procraftination Station {cute name too}. I had completely forgotten that she also used polka dots! Great minds think alike!
I used 2 bags {plus a few extra from the 3rd bag} of peppermints that I bought at the dollar store. I already had the 10" styrofoam wreath form and I already had the cutesy polka dot fabric {from my tree skirt HERE}.
I did not take any photos of the process for this one, but like many wreaths, what you see is what you get. I just glued each mint on, around and around until I covered the form as best I could {the white shows through in most places, but I don't mind because it works fine with the white and red mints}. I decided at the last minute to add the vertical mints around the outer rim. If you do something like that make sure to put a nice size glob of hot glue and hold it for a good 30 seconds {I had to re-glue several this morning, but we've got it now!}.
What's coming next on We Wreath You a Merry Christmas? SNOWBALL FIGHT!
