DIY Frozen Champagne Wreathe

I made this awesome wreath recently weekend and I felt it needed sharing on the blogsphere.

Here's a close up of the glitter effect!
Supplies:

  • Plastic Wreath
  • Gold Spray paint 
  • Ivory Spray Paint
  • Brown Spray Paint
  • Spray Adhesive
  • Spray Varnish/Clear Spray Paint
  • Twinklets Diamond Dust
  • A Bow
  • Wire for Hanging




  1. Shape your wreath. This is very important to do beforehand as the spray paint won't permeate past the outer parts of the wreath. If you try and shape it later then you'll have to respray the whole thing.
  2. Attach a wire to the back for hanging. It will be rather annoying to attach the wire when the wreath is covered in glitter.
  3. Give the front and back of the wreath a heavy base coat of ivory. This step can be skipped, but I did it to save on gold spray paint as I was running low.
  4. Paint the front of the wreath gold. If you painted it ivory don't worry about having that show threw, just make sure you can't see any green at all.
  5. Now take the brown spray paint and holding the can a few feet away from the wreath while giving the wreath a light dusting of color. This is just to mute the gold a bit and make the wreath a little bit duller. If you're all for super shinny gold feel free to skip this step as well.
  6. Wait until all the spray paint has dried and then apply the spray varnish on the whole front of the wreath. If you prefer Modge Podge you can easily substitute it here and apply it with a Sponge brush.
  7. Dust the wreath with Twinklets Diamond Dust. I used a small spoon to apply it quite liberally on the whole wreath. I also went and applied some other glitter afterwords but it just wasn't nearly impressive as the Diamond Dust. I wish I had just stuck to the Diamond Dust personally.
  8. If you used spray adhesive coat the front of the wreath with spray varnish or clear spray paint. 
  9. All that's left now is to attach a bow and hang it on the wall. I bought my bow from the thrift store. It was actually a bow that Target didn't manage to sell last year, so instead of paying $5 for it I got it for $1.
There you go folks, a simple and easy tutorial for a Chick wreath.
