Step: 1
Drill a hole ¼-inch from edge in each Woodsie® circle.
Step: 2
Paint circles Light Cinnamon. Let dry. Paint circles with crackling medium and allow to dry following manufacturer's instructions. Paint circles Moon Yellow. Let dry.
Step: 3
Refer to photo and paint pumpkins and leaves on circles. Let dry. Use marker to draw stems, tendrils, and outline pumpkins and leaves.
Step: 4
To attach ribbons to circles, fold ribbon in half and place folded end of ribbon through hole on circle. Pull folded end through approximately ½-inch and then place cut ends of ribbon through folded loop. Tug on ribbon ends to snug knot up against circle.
Step: 5
For dimension, crinkle leaves into a ball and then flatten slightly. Dab sponge onto ink pad and apply to high areas on leaves.
Step: 6
Refer to photo and glue leaves and pumpkin circles to wreath.
Tips
For ease in placing ribbon through hole in circle, cut a 4-inch length of fine wire and fold wire in half. Place center of ribbon length into folded end of wire. Thread cut ends of wire through hole--similar to using a needle and thread.
