The next addition to the Whoville Christmas theme was the fur wreath.
This idea was originally posted by the fabulous Nester. She made a white wreath that was stunning.
Here's the link to her full tutorial on how to make it.
I made a smaller wreath because it was going in front of a smaller mirror.
I bought my straw wreath form for $1 at Goodwill. The fur was purchased at Fabric.com. I bought a half yard. For a smaller wreath, you only need about 3/4 yard, but I used the rest of the fur for other Whoville projects.
I know someone is wondering, "how easy IS it?"
It's extremely easy. The Nester tutorial is spot on. You just wrap the fabric around the wreath and hot glue it on. It doesn't have to be perfect because the fur will cover up most errors. Just keep all the glued seams on the back and the rest will be perfect!
Sidenote: The beautiful white wreath on the Nester's site would make a beautiful holiday or hostess gift. It would also be beautiful for a wedding.
Looking for the rest of the Whoville Christmas posts?
Reminder: If you need a fabulous holiday card design (plus a FREE return label design) PLUS a discount for printing, visit my post here. Two great deals! I received mine in record time and next week, I'll show you how they turned out! Fabulous!

This is super cute! I made an adorable wreath last year out of scraps of robert kaufman fabrics. This year I might have to try this! I love it. (http://www.spiceberrycottage.com/shop/Manufacturer/Robert-Kaufman.htm)
