So right after I got my mini tree I was browsing amazon for goblincore ornaments. I saw a Retro Fawn Bottle-brush wreath ornament that I thought was super cute. Only, it was 4 inches (too bit for my tiny tree) and $26 which isn’t unreasonable but is more than my post present buying budget would allow me to spend on ONE ornament.
I don’t know if I have mentioned yet, but I just happen to work at a craft store. And while the place I work generally carries all the craft supplies EXCEPT the one I need at any given moment, we did have some tiny craft wreaths in stock. And I already had some tiny deer leftover from a tinket box craft I did.
This is also probably the EASIEST dupe I’ve ever made.
(I am an amazon associate. Making a purchase after clicking one of my links will earn me a small commission at not extra charge to you. This will help me bring more crafts in the future!)
For this craft you will need:
- mini craft wreaths (amazon)
- miniature animal of your choice (I used a deer, but it would be cute with any forest animal or even tiny trees)
- hot glue gun
- tiny plastic beads (optional)
- glitter or white flocking (optional)
The instructions are also short and sweet.
- Put hot glue on the feet of the animal figure.
- Stick animal figure into the center of the wreath.
- Dust remaining hot glue with glitter or flocking to hide it. (optional. I didn’t need to with the two I made)
As you can see the tiny wreath bases I found already had a the tiny bow and tiny ornaments on them. The ones I linked to on amazon have the bow, but no ornaments. You can add small plastic beads to the blank wreaths for ornaments if you wish.
What do you think about my results? Here is a link to the original if you want to compare.
I think they are absolutely adorable and I have put one on my mini tree and the other on the main tree in the living room.
I was thinking about making the 3rd one and hosting a small giveaway, but figured I probably need to wait until I have more than 3 followers before I do something like that. (and I also maybe might have accidentally destroyed the bow on the last mini-wreath I had.)
Coming up in 2023, I hope to share more of my crafts with you. I’m going to be part of a group on youtube called “Crafting with Friends” where we each share the crafts we’ve made each week, and Monday’s are going to be my day. I’ll share the crafts here and, if I can figure out how, the video too!
If you make this, or any other Feral Coziness craft, I’d love to see it! Use the tag #feralcrafting on insta!
