Wreath Making Directions:

1. First cut your pipes into 2 inch long pieces. You can use a measuring tape and a marker to make this step easier.
2. Next, take your round item and put on your working surface. Arrange your pipe pieces around that object to make a circle, until you are satisfied with the look of your wreath.
3. Begin gluing the pieces together (don’t glue the pipe to your circular object) using the hot glue gun or suitable glue. Continue until you have glued together all the pieces and your wreath looks the way you want it to. Remove the circular item from the middle.
4. If you want you can spray paint your wreath so it works better with your home decorations. Let it dry completely.
5. Add a ribbon or twine or rope around some of the pipe pieces to hang it. You can drill holes to larger pieces and thread the rope or ribbon through them if you prefer.
6. If you want you can glue some embellishments securely into the pipe pieces and hang it after that on the wall.
