Rustic Christmas Paper Cone Wreath

November 16, 2015 by Holly Gagnon 5 Comments

EP Disclosure

Don’t you just love a big, beautiful Paper Cone Wreath?!  I’ve made quite a few  of them over the years and I always tell myself, I have absolutely zero room to store another one.  Then I go on with myself and  make another one.   #wreathissues  This time, I made a Rustic Christmas Paper Cone Wreath with Glitter Pine Cones in the center.  I know, Bam!   Paper Cone Wreaths always make a statement  like, Go Big or Go home, right?

DIY Rustic Christmas Paper Cone Wreath makes such a gorgeous Holiday Statement! The Gold Glitter Pine Cones in the center add such a unique touch too!

I literally did go Big or Go home  with this Rustic Paper Cone Wreath since I made it for the Wild Card challenge in the So You Think You’re Crafty Challenge.  Unfortunately,  I didn’t win the last challenge, actually got creamed  by a crocheted Nativity Set.

Seriously,  how do you even crochet something like that?  I tried to knit a scarf once when I visited the in-laws for Christmas one year.  I couldn’t even get  a row started.   It defeated me.  Then TSA  confiscated my knitting needles out of my suitcase.  They did.  So game over with me and knitting.

 

Rolled paper cones to make a wreath

I will stick to what I am best at, paper crafts and Paper Cones wreaths take a lot of paper.  The wreath is made up of tow layers.  The bottom layer of cones are 6 x 6 squares  and I used the gorgeous Echo Park Paper The Story of Christmas collection to make this wreath.

The papers are so pretty and were the perfect Rustic Christmas I was looking for.   To make life easier when rolling the cones, roll he papers around a jumbo glue pen to help keep the cones the same size.  You don’t have to do this  step but it makes it easier.

 

 

Brush Mod Podge in the edge of paper, then sprinkle glitter to add small details.

 

After the cones were rolled and hot glue together, I brush Mod Podge on the tips  of the cones and sprinkled gold glitter over it.   I love how the glitter gives this rustic wreath a little bit of glam.

The base of the wreath is just  a piece of chipboard I cut out in a 11′ circle and  hot glued the cones on to it.

The second layer of paper cones are  cut at 4 x 6  inches and hot glued in between the gaps of the bottom layer.

I gave the pine cones a little bit of sparkle by brushing on a thin layer of Mod Podge and sprinkling them with gold glitter also.

After the glitter pines cones are dry, hot glue them in to the center of the wreath.   You could also spry paint the  pine cones too by following my  Rustic Glam Pines Cone tutorial.

I think the  glittered pine cones in the center really compliments the papers in the wreath bringing a warm and cozy, rustic feel of Christmas in to your home.  Just like a big ole’  Holiday Welcome!

This Rustic Christmas Paper Cone Wreath is a simple home decor craft to make to Welcome in the Holidays or even give as a gift.  Of course, after you spend the time making such a beautiful paper craft, you may have a hard time giving it away.

    Wreath is gorgeous.
    I take it that you glued the ribbon on the back of the cardboard to hang
