Hang your wreath securely on the wall by hammering at least three nails into the inside of the wreath, with the heads overlapping the leaves on the bottom ring. Note: this step is very important—if your project falls off of the wall, it will become quite a puzzle! Your Autumn Leaves Wreath is now ready to be enjoyed for many seasons to come! INSTRUCTIONS Size and cut Make several copies of each leaf pattern, found in Full Size Pattern Section No. 2. Lay out the leaves in a wreath formation to figure out how many of each you will need for the size wreath you desire, and then multiply that number of leaves by three (it takes three layers of leaves to make the wreath). Note: the more the leaves on each layer overlap each other, the stronger the wreath will be. Next, adhere one of each pattern to the wood with temporary-bond spray adhesive, and stack as many pieces of wood as you will need, securing each stack with masking tape or small brads. With a small drill bit, drill a hole through the stacks in the waste area of each cutout. For veining lines, drill the hole at one end of the line. Cut out each stack, then carefully remove the patterns. Next, sand each piece with a belt or hand held sander. Remove any burrs and clean up any cuts with a craft knife Assembly Arrange the first layer of leaves around the circle using a variety of leaf types. The leaves should be placed close together for strength. Apply glue to the back side of each leaf and glue it onto the wreath, or needle pick. Lay out and cut the wreath backer of the desired diameter. Paint the leaves as desired (see the accompanying sidebar on page 24). September. 1998 23 |
