Supplies needed to make the Fairy Garden Wreath:

– chenille yarn, white
– green crafting pom poms
– cotton spun mushrooms
– hot glue, glue gun
– scissors
Directions:
1. Begin by wrapping the chenille yarn around the wreath form.
2. Secure the end of the yarn with hot glue to the inside of the wreath form, start wrapping, and wrap until slightly more than half, or about 3/4ths of the form is covered.
3. Cut the yarn, add a dab of glue, and press the end of the segment to the inside of the wreath to secure it in place.
4. Add a generous dab of hot glue to the back of the pom poms and press them to the bare area of the wreath form. Hold in place firmly until secure. Keep adding the poms until the bare area is covered. For ours, we used two different sizes. We applied them in rows so a half moon shape was formed.
5. Add the mushrooms. These crafting mushrooms are typically on picks, so just add some glue to the bottom of the mushroom and press the pick all the way down into the poms. Hold in place until dry and secure. Continue adding mushrooms in any color combination and pattern that you wish.
6. Once all of your pieces are in place and dry, you can add ribbon for hanging or simply display the wreath on a hook.
