When I got out my Christmas decorations a few days ago, I discovered that one of my favorite old wreaths was looking a little worse for wear. Many of the berries had fallen off and the greenery seemed to be smashed beyond repair. I decided it was time for a new wreath. Hooray for computers and Google, because I found wreath ideas galore. So many, that I had a hard time choosing one to make. This is the one my husband and I absolutely loved, so here is it…
Cookie Cutter Wreath
Supplies:
- metal cookie cutters, about 16 – 20. (I used 18, which came in a little tub from Walmart.)
- glue gun and glue sticks
- a ribbon or bow to put on top
Directions:

- Arrange the cookie cutters into the general size of circle you’d like your finished wreath to be.

- You will have to spend a little time re-arranging the cookie cutters to get them to fit together like a puzzle.
![]( "outline")
- I discovered as I started to glue the cookie cutters together, the pieces would shift and need to be re-positioned constantly. Solution: Trace an outline on the inside of the wreath onto a piece of posterboard or large paper. (I pulled the cookie cutters away from the outline so I could take a picture to show you.)
![]( "glue gun")
- Notice where the cookie cutters touch each other and apply hot glue to those spots.
![]( "glueing together")
- Work quickly to attach cookie cutters before glue cools and set. Continue gluing until wreath is complete.

- Let glue dry completely and attach a bow to the top.
Hang and enjoy!
